The Postgraduate Diploma in Mātauranga Māori and Indigenous studies allows tauira to explore postgraduate studies without committing to a full master’s programme. The Postgraduate Diploma requires the tauira to complete 4 papers.
We offer three options to focus your postgraduate studies in the Diploma.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Mātauranga Māori and Indigenous Studies also offers a general non-endorsed option. In this option tauira can select and complete any 4 papers that are offered at level 8 (see masters paper offerings), and/or any papers from the above endorsement areas. For those wishing to proceed to complete their masters by thesis or dissertation, one of those papers should be PGMMI828, or PGMMI829.
