Welcome to
Te Ara Poutama
Welcome to AUT
E ngā mana, e ngā reo
E te iti, e te rahi
E ngā mātāwaka o ngā tōpito o te ao
Ngā mahuetanga iho e kawe nei i ngā
moemoeā o rātou mā
Tēnā koutou katoa
Takahia te ara poutama ki ngā pae
tāwhitiwhiti, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā
koutou katoa.
Te Ara Poutama, the Faculty of Māori and
Indigenous Development, aspires to lead AUT
as a faculty of excellence and innovation in
teaching, research and scholarship relevant to
the communities we serve.
Our qualifications are at the cutting edge and
have been developed in response to the need
for skilled Māori professionals in the fastgrowing Māori sectors of business and media.
At the same time we recognise, and are
responsive to the increasing demand for
non-Māori working professionals who have
knowledge of Māori culture, language and the
Treaty of Waitangi.
Our qualifications are flexible; they can be
tailored to meet your needs. Importantly, we
celebrate the value and contribution of all
peoples to the future advancement of Aotearoa
New Zealand.
Our graduates are able to succeed in the
contemporary Māori world. They are confident,
inspirational and in demand.
Nau mai, haere mai.

Why study at Te Ara Poutama?
Social and collaborative
Studying at Te Ara Poutama – AUT’s Faculty of Māori
and Indigenous Development – is never an isolated
experience. Teamwork is a key part of our programmes,
just as it is in the workplace. You frequently collaborate
with your classmates on projects, sharing ideas and
supporting each other to achieve the best outcome.
This collaborative approach creates a close-knit,
supportive environment, and for many of our students
it’s the highlight of their studies.
Big-hearted and diverse
Our students come from a variety of backgrounds, and
you find all the support, encouragement and inspiration
you need. We offer some of the most comprehensive
student services and support in New Zealand, but
you find care and support beyond these services
– in conversations with lecturers, group work with
04
classmates and in the many campus events. Join us,
and you’ll quickly learn how inclusive and caring our
community is.
Industry experience as part of your degree
Study with us and you not only learn academic
knowledge related to your discipline, but also gain
experience of the wider world and valuable industry
contacts. Industry experience is a key part of both
the Bachelor of Māori Development and Bachelor of
Arts, and in your final year you complete an industry
placement for an organisation related to your major.
Our students undertake their placements in a wide
range of fields, including radio and television,
film production, teaching across all sectors,
tribal organisations, government agencies and
community organisations.

you learn 3 Our Māori Media major is offered in association with the School of Communication Studies. This means our students have access to state-of-the-art
communication facilities
Technology is in our DNA
Outstanding facilities and equipment
Our staff and students are constantly testing the
boundaries of new technologies, and many of our
papers incorporate digital concepts into everyday
learning and teaching. Our Te Whanake app is the most
innovative and interactive way to learn te reo Māori.
Created by Te Ipukarea, The National Māori Language
Institute at AUT, it’s available to download in the Apple
app store or via Google Play. We’re also proud of the
large library of Apple iBooks we’ve developed to help
our students learn. If you’re studying Māori media
you learn to create iBooks yourself, as well as making
websites or videos.
As a student at Te Ara Poutama, you have access to
the latest facilities and software. Our dual boot lab,
for example, is a great place to develop high-quality
audio-visual apps and iBooks, or access our Māori
language intranet. Māori media students can develop
high-resolution film footage using the latest video
recording hardware and software. We also have a
specially designed sound room where students can
record voiceovers.

UNDERGRADUATE
Kaupapa
Vision of Te Ara Poutama
Takakawehia te ara poutama, kia whakareia koe
ki ngā tohu o te mātauranga.
Traverse pathways of learning to acquire
knowledge and wisdom.
The poutama symbolises aspirations consistent
with achievement, the pursuit of higher goals and
enlightenment. Learning is an activity consistent
with such aspirations – over a lifetime it leads to the
acquisition of knowledge, wisdom, mana and ultimately
tino rangatiratanga.
Te Ara Poutama, the Faculty of Māori and Indigenous
Development, is the kaitiaki (guardian) of that process
for our students, our staff, their whānau (family) and the
wider community.
Our goal is to:
• Promote Māori language and culture as relevant in
local, national and global environments
• Produce graduates who are culturally confident,
competent and credible
• Provide a portfolio of qualifications consistent with
best-practice teaching, curriculum and research that
meets the needs of our students and our communities
• Offer an environment which is intellectually robust
and physically, socially and culturally safe
• Demonstrate integrity, openness, commitment,
passion, pride, professionalism, ambition and
innovation in all our activities
• Act as an informed critic and conscience for the
communities we serve
• Produce quality research and scholarship for the
communities we serve
• Provide a safe environment to celebrate being Māori
Commited to
te reo Māori
Study with us and learn te reo Māori in a dynamic,
interactive and progressive way. AUT is the proud
home of Te Ipukarea – The National Māori Language
Institute. Our innovative courses help you develop a
full understanding of the language and the culture that
surrounds it, using digital and traditional approaches.
Classes are interactive and supportive and you can
use our app and other digital learning tools to practise
your skills. You can study te reo Māori at beginner,
intermediate or advanced level, and our day and
evening classes make it easy to fit study around your
other commitments.
There are no tuition fees for the following papers:*
• Introduction to Conversational Māori – no previous
knowledge required
• Te Kākano I and II – these introductory papers focus
on using te reo Māori in conversational situations and
reinforce grammar and vocabulary
06
• Te Pihinga I and II – these intermediate papers
focus on developing your listening and reading
comprehension skills through interactive activities
We also offer four advanced undergraduate Māori
language papers: Te Māhuri I and II and Te Kōhure I and
II. You will have to pay tuition fees for these four papers.
Te Reo Māori minor
If you would like to complete a minor in te reo Māori,
you need to complete 60 points of te reo Māori papers
with at least 15 points at level 7.
* The zero tuition fee only applies to your first enrolment in the paper.
If you fail the paper and want to re-enrol, you need to pay the full
standard paper fee.

Kelly-Aroha Huata
Ngāti Kahungunu
Bachelor of Māori Development in Māori Media
Master of Arts in Māori Development student
Growing up in a Māori language environment in Ngāti
Kahungunu, Hastings, Kelly-Aroha Huata has always been
passionate about te reo.
Learning in a supportive environment
For Kelly, the small classes are the best thing about studying
at AUT.
“From kohanga reo through to kura kaupapa and high school
– I can’t remember a time without te reo in my life. So when
it was time to think about university, I decided to follow my
passion for te reo me ōna tikanga.
“That really stands out for me because it enables you to build a
strong relationship with your lecturers. It’s easy to interact with
the academics and the other students. I really love learning in
such a strong, supportive environment,” she says.
“AUT’s Bachelor of Māori Development was perfect for me as it
combines te reo with an understanding of the communication
and media industries. Auckland is where the media industry is,
so that is very useful too,” she says.
“I also enjoy having access to the latest language learning
technology. It’s one of the reasons why I chose to study
here – AUT has a reputation for keeping up-to-date with
modern technology.”
Fun and challenging activities
Kelly’s favourite paper was Te Kōhure, the advanced
te reo class.
After completing her degree, Kelly has now started a Master
of Arts in Māori Development to help ensure New Zealand is
doing all it can to protect its native tongue.
“I liked that you have to really think outside the box, and I loved
the fun and challenging activities we did,” she says.
In addition to her studies she also works as a te reo lecturer
at Te Ara Poutama, sharing her knowledge with the next
generation of students.
“We also did more in-depth analysis in the assignments,
including exploring the differences and similarities between
mana (prestige), mauri (life principle) and ihi (essential force).”

Eruini (Eru) Paranihi
Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Porou
Breakfast Producer and Operations Assistant, Flava
Bachelor of Māori Development in Māori Media
After five years working in radio, Eru Paranihi decided to learn
te reo Māori and upskill in other media pathways. Through
AUT’s Bachelor of Māori Development in Māori Media, he has
been able to do this.
The best of both worlds
For Eru, advancing his te reo Māori skills was the missing piece
of the puzzle for his personal development.
“I had studied it at school and then taken a break for a few
years, but felt it was time to advance my knowledge of te reo
Māori. That’s why I came to AUT.”
Like all Māori media students, he also developed the skills to
create websites, iBooks and videos using Mac OSX products,
including Final Cut Pro X, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe
Dream Weaver.
“The degree enabled me to learn te reo Māori and explore
other media like journalism, television and online media. This
combination of language and digital skills definitely opens up
opportunities to contribute to the revitalisation of te reo Māori.
I’ve gained the best of both worlds,” says Eru who completed
his AUT degree last year.
Valuable industry experience
Industry experience is a key part of the Bachelor of Māori
Development, and Eru completed his final-year work
placement at NZME Radio. As a result of hard work during
his co-op, Eru was then offered a full-time role as breakfast
producer and operations assistant at Flava, which is part of
NZME Radio.
“I had been working as a casual announcer while studying at
AUT. I was lucky that the project I worked on for both AUT
and NZME Radio led to this amazing opportunity as Flava’s
breakfast producer and operations assistant,” Eru says.
There were numerous other opportunities throughout his
degree, including being able to travel overseas.
“In 2013, I was part of a group of students who went to Taiwan,
a chance for indigenous Taiwanese and Māori to come
together and share our experiences. Some of my classmates
also got to attend an indigenous conference in Washington,
and some others travelled to Hawaii to immerse themselves in
Hawaiian culture.”

Develop the skills to make a difference in your

are vibrant, culturally significant and exciting. The
Bachelor of Arts in Māori Development reflects the
philosophy of Tā Apirana Ngata, highlighting the
significance of knowledge of the Pakeha for economic
sustenance and knowledge of the ancestors for
intellectual and spiritual sustenance.
You take core papers that develop your writing,
research, digital technology and communication
skills. Our innovative te reo Māori classes use a range
of interactive digital tools to help you develop your
language skills. You then choose from elective papers
that cover economic development, management,
leadership, and topics in contemporary Māori culture

chosen industry.
Conjoint programmes and double degrees
Today, standing out from the crowd is more important
than ever. A conjoint programme of study doubles your
knowledge and opportunities, but it doesn’t take double
the time to complete. You study two degrees at the same
time in a single programme of study and complete both
degrees in a shorter time than it would take to complete
them separately. It is usually possible to complete two
three-year degrees in four to five years. You need to
maintain a B grade average across all papers to remain
in the programme of study and you need to do papers
from each degree every year.
A double degree is another great way to make your
CV stand out. The difference between a double
degree and a conjoint is that in the double degree you
enrol separately in each of the two degrees. You can
cross-credit papers from one degree to the other, which
means you need to do fewer papers. Double degrees
usually take longer than conjoint programmes but there
are some advantages: a greater range of programmes
to choose from, no minimum grade average each year
and no rules about having to take papers from each
qualification each year. The amount of cross-credit will
vary depending on the degree combinations.
Your study options include:
• Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Business conjoint
programme
• Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Computer and
Information Sciences conjoint programme
• Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws double degree

Recognition of Prior Learning
A feature of our programmes is Recognition of Prior
Learning (RPL), a system that provides credit for your
previous learning and experience. You may be able to
get formal credit if you have completed a university
or technical institute course that closely matches the
level and content of an AUT paper. You need to have
completed this course within the last five years. If you
have a variety of learning and experience (for example
professional development workshops and work
experience) that matches the learning within a paper,
you may be able to apply for non-formal credit.
For more information about Recognition of Prior Learning call us on
09 921 9999 ext 6600 or visit www.aut.ac.nz/tap

Stevie Davis-Tana
Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Porou, Te Arawa
Youth Development and Projects Intern, Youthline
3rd-year student, Bachelor of Arts in Māori Development and Social Sciences
A double major in Māori Development and Social Sciences is
the perfect combination for Bachelor of Arts student Stevie
Davis-Tana.
“They’re two aspects of life I’m really passionate about. Not
only am I able to learn about social sciences which will help me
in my chosen career field of youth development, but I can also
apply Māori tikanga and practices – which is a fundamental
part of who I am – to my learning.”
A passion for youth development
AUT has fuelled her passion for youth development,
says Stevie.
“It has inspired me to want to make a difference in the world.
I’m passionate about working with young people and hope
to make a difference in the lives of young people not only in
New Zealand, but also abroad.
“I’ve been working as a youth development and projects
intern at Youthline since last year. This year I’m also
completing my third-year industry placement there, which is a
wonderful opportunity.”
Stevie says she is constantly applying what she has learnt in
the classroom to her work.
“Thanks to my AUT degree, I’ve learnt what it takes to work
with young people and the challenges they face in our society
today.”
Positive, practical and innovative
AUT’s reputation as an innovative and practical university is
what first drew Stevie to the AUT Bachelor of Arts.
“The hands-on, practical learning stands out the most for me.
I’m not just learning theory, I’m also learning how to apply it –
and that is only going to help me in my future career. I also love
the positive and innovative atmosphere at AUT.
“I would definitely recommend this programme to others.
This degree offers an amazing balance of theory and practical
learning. It has allowed me to learn not only about myself
but also about things I’m passionate about, including my
Māori culture and how it is a fundamental part of myself and
my work.”
