Māori Knowledge – Diploma in Arts

Nau mai ki te wāhanga reo o Te Pūtahi-a-Toi, ka nui te mihi ki a koe. Ko te reo Māori to tātau kāinga kōrero mātauranga. Nō reira nau mai, haere mai!

Welcome to the reo section of Te Pūtahi-a-Toi, greetings to you. The Māori language is our home of conversation to refine our knowledge!

Māori language, society and culture are a rich, vibrant and dynamic part of Aotearoa New Zealand.

The study of Māori knowledge introduces you to te ao Māori, the Māori world, and will give you a sound background in Māori language, visual arts, Aotearoa heritage and Māori policy and development. An understanding of Māori language and culture is very important if you want to play a part in shaping the social, political and economic development of the nation.

The language courses begin for students without any previous experience in the Māori language. Through the te reo Māori courses you will develop knowledge of the language to become a fluent speaker.

The other courses, such as Māori visual arts, Aotearoa heritage, Māori policy and development, and Māori health, allow you to gain a sound understanding of Māori culture and society.
