Māori Studies was established as an independent academic unit in the University in 1978 when Tā Hirini Moko Mead was appointed as the first professor. Māori Studies aims to provide an education that empowers students to understand and participate effectively in the Māori world and, above all, enable them to make a positive contribution to the development of Māori culture, society and politics. The School offers courses at every level in the University from undergraduate diploma through to PhD. The academic programme of the School is based on teaching both Māori language and culture, and the School has established an enviable reputation as a leading producer of fluent Māori speakers in the country, including luminaries such as Julian Wilcox, Mereana Hond, Hon Justice Joe Williams and many other high-profile New Zealanders.
Central to the Māori Studies academic programme is Te Herenga Waka, the University Marae. This marae was the first university-based marae to be established in New Zealand and really came of age in 1986 when its carved house, Te Tumu Herenga Waka, was officially opened. The marae is a base for a range of Māori student activities. Amongst other things, lunches are provided during the work week, classes are taught in the wharenui, class noho marae take place there, the kapa haka practises there and it is the site of numerous hui throughout the year. Our academic programme includes a range of courses that are part of several degree and diploma programmes and includes the option of three separate Māori Studies majors in the BA degree. At undergraduate level we offer the Tohu Māoritanga which is a one-year diploma programme. It is designed to provide an opportunity for people who might not otherwise consider university education as an option. Students as young as 16 years of age may be admitted and some of the points completed in the Tohu can be credited towards a BA degree as well. Māori Studies This is the most popular major within Māori Studies, producing graduates with a well-rounded understanding of te reo me ōna tikanga. Students emerge with an understanding of Māori language; Māori culture—past and present; and the relationship between Māori and other cultures in New Zealand, Polynesia and the world. The major combines well with all other BA subjects and degrees. Māori Resource Management This major provides a pathway for students to attain an in-depth understanding of the complex issues in this much sought after field. Students graduate with an understanding of and competency in Māori language; the relationship between Māori customary concepts, their application in the modern world; and resource management skills. The major has strong interdisciplinary connections in the Faculty of Science, the Victoria Business School and within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Te Reo Māori This major is designed to meet the needs and aspirations of students committed to the acquisition, analysis and preservation of te reo Māori. Students graduate with a fluency in both written and oral communications; an awareness of issues; and a competency in linguistic analysis of te reo Māori. There is growing national demand for Māori language speakers, particularly in the public, broadcasting and education sectors. Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences 2013 51
