Māori knowledge is unique to Aotearoa New Zealand. It's the foundation upon which we stand together in partnership. Creating and sharing knowledge helps us reach the highest possible levels of advancement and attainment. It provides a pathway for students to learn te reo Māori, and create a just and inclusive society and world.

The study of Māori knowledge introduces you to te ao Māori, the Māori world, and provides a basic understanding of te reo Māori. It gives you a sound background in areas such as:

• contemporary Māori issues
• Te Tiriti o Waitangi
• Māori culture and society
• Māori policy and development.

Māori knowledge is a good fit if you:

• enjoy learning te reo Māori
• want to deeply understand Māori culture, society and world views
• want to contribute positively to individuals, whānau, hapū, iwi and Māori communities.

Te reo Māori is a taonga and an official language of Aotearoa New Zealand. Study te reo Māori at Massey and participate in ways that reinforce the everyday use of te reo.

With our te reo Māori courses, you'll become a confident speaker and writer of te reo Māori – and be able to share your skills in ways that express and reflect a Māori world view.

Our staff include winners of the Pikihuia Awards for Māori writers, and lecturers dedicated to providing creative learning experiences.
