Diploma in Arts in Maori and Indigenous Studies

University of Canterbury

If you are wanting to study Arts subjects at university, the one-year Diploma in Arts (DipArts) is a great option without having to complete a full three-year bachelor's degree. It also allows you to take Arts courses of interest to add onto your studies in other areas. Study Involve: Choose from a wide range of Arts subjects and courses at any level. Complete a compulsory course on foundational arts skills of academic writing, analysing evidence, or bicultural identity. This Diploma can be studied full-time in 1 year, or part-time for up to 6 years. Can be used as a pathway to the Bachelor of Arts with the ability to transfer your completed courses to that degree. Maori and Indigenous Studies is a broad subject that explores the culture, knowledge, and philosophies of Maori and Indigenous peoples, and their economic, political, and social experiences. These studies are increasingly seen as central to biculturalism in Aotearoa as well as in our global multicultural society. Study Involve: Study a range of historical and contemporary issues that Indigenous people face such as their relationship to science and politics, public services, and material culture. Aotahi: School of Maori and Indigenous Studies operates as a whanau to help you explore the heritage of Aotearoa. Take this subject as a minor in a wide range of bachelor’s degrees so you can combine your other subjects with matauranga Maori.
