How will I study?

The delivery mode and learning environment of Te Pou Hono is based on traditional Māori learning principals and is influenced by tikanga and manaakitanga.

This programme is delivered encompassing a variety of study activities including, kanohi-ki-te-kanohi (face-to-face) learning, guest lecturing, practical field work, group workshops and workbooks.

How you will study

• Attend timetabled hours, negotiated with the Marae, which may include:
• Attending weekend noho or wānanga
• Participating in activities
• Completing assessments
• Contributing your own research findings

To complete the programme, students must complete 100 learning hours per kōwae ako.  This is an equal combination of directed learning (lecturer engagement) and self-directed learning.  

Based on the delivery hours outlined, a Wānanga delivery mode could look like any of the following 

Option 1:

Attend 8 weekend noho, with 25 learning hours per noho and complete self-directed learning.

Option 2:

Attend 4 five-day wānanga, with 10 learning hours per wānanga and complete self-directed learning.

Option 3:
