Knowing the histories of your own land can help you to better understand cultures, histories, and political dynamics of other lands.

One way that our Bachelor of Global Studies builds students’ global mindset starts right here on this motu (island). The Māori course component of the degree gives our students a grounding in te ao Māori.

Students can then feel confident in knowing where they are from and have a clear sense of the cultures and histories of Aotearoa. This gives them a unique lens on global issues—particularly how they can impact on, and be solved in, Aotearoa.
