奧塔哥大學

The Bachelor of Arts (BA) is Otago's most flexible undergraduate degree programme, enabling students to study from a selection of more than 40 arts and social science subjects, as well as papers offered elsewhere in the University. Academic breadth is complemented by in-depth knowledge gained through majoring in one or two subjects with the option of minors in one or two others.

Students are taught by research-active scholars, are expected to undertake a diverse range of learning tasks and are challenged to develop their intellectual independence. Graduates of the programme are well-informed, versatile, independent thinkers with the information literacy, communication, research and interpersonal skills necessary for a career or further academic study. The completed BA is an entry qualification for the PGDipArts in the major subject of the degree.

Maori Studies

Maori Studies is an intellectual discipline within the University, with an academic programme dedicated to the study of te reo me nga tikanga Maori (the Maori language, Maori customary lore, Maori history, Maori performing arts, Maori education and Maori research) in Aotearoa and Te Waipounamu. The introduction of an immersion Maori language programme from 100- to 400-level based on the Te Whanake series by Professor John C. Moorfield provides a strong foundation for the multidisciplinary offerings of papers which constitute our curriculum.

Maori Studies is an entry point for students and scholars wishing to engage with knowledge about Maori.
