Ayla HoetaKo Tainui te IwiYouth Innovator in Community and Social Innovation, The Southern Initiative, Auckland CouncilBachelor of Communication Studies (Honours) Bachelor of Arts in Māori Development

“The Southern Initiative is a team in Auckland Council that has been set up to mobilise transformational change in South Auckland over the next 30 years. We work with local communities and other agencies to drive change that will boost employment and business opportunities, improve educational achievement, increase access to affordable and healthy homes, and support social and physical wellbeing. I’m passionate about my work – it’s about supporting rangatahi to have a voice and rise up to community challenges. We’re doing this in a creative way that also showcases the talent of people in South Auckland. My AUT degree provided me with the kete of skills needed to be a young Māori leader, a change maker, and to pursue my goals of making a positive impact to whānau and Māori.”

Do you enjoy learning about people and places at an individual, national or international level? Want to learn how to use this knowledge to make a difference in our increasingly globalised society? With the AUT Bachelor of Arts you can choose from majors in areas as diverse as Māori development, languages, criminology, psychology, event management and education. It’s great preparation for a huge range of careers, and you can build your degree in a way that suits you – study a single or a double major, select from a wide range of minors or add elective papers from another area of study. Throughout your study you’ll develop effective communication, critical thinking and analysis skills, as well as the ability to research and present professionally. These skills are key to any professional role. Your final year includes valuable workplace experience, working on a project or event, or at an organisation related to your chosen major.

Kerehi Warwick Ngāpuhi, Ngāti KahuTe Reo Māori Teacher, Mangere CollegeBachelor of Arts in Māori Development

“In this role I’m responsible for teaching te reo Māori me ōna tikanga to a diverse range of students from Year 9 to Year 13. I love being able to normalise Māori culture and language within an urban setting. I’m constantly using the skills I gained from my te reo Māori papers at AUT in the classes I teach now. I chose AUT’s Bachelor of Arts in Māori Development because the degree matched well with my beliefs and the values I was brought up with. I loved getting to know the people at AUT. One of the highlights for me was being a part of Titahi ki Tua, the Māori students’ association at AUT, and connecting with other Māori who have the same educational aspirations as me.”

Page 15: TE ARA POUTAMA - Auckland University of Technology · Te Ara Poutama Takahia te ara poutama ki ngā pae tāwhitiwhiti, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa. Te Ara Poutama,

Double your career options – study the Bachelor of Arts and:• Bachelor of Computer and Information Sciences (conjoint) • Bachelor of Business (conjoint) • Bachelor of Laws (double degrees) Today, standing out from the crowd is more important than ever. Conjoint programmes, double degrees and second majors double your knowledge and opportunities, but don’t take double the time to complete.

Conjoint programmesYou study two degrees at the same time in a single programme of study. It’s usually possible to complete two three-year degrees in four to five years. You need to maintain a B grade average across all papers and do papers from each degree every year.

Double degreesThe difference between double degrees and conjoint programmes is that in the double degrees you apply for and enrol separately in each of the two degrees. If you’re considering doing this, it’s important that you contact AUT to discuss your plans. Double degrees can be completed either one after the other or concurrently.

Second majors and minorsWhen you take a second major from the majors available in your degree this is called a double major. If you take the second major from another AUT degree this is called an additional major. Minors are also available in these and some other subjects. Adding a second major or a minor allows you to study another area that interests you from a wide range of subjects, so long as your timetable permits.

Minors available within Te Ara Poutama:• History• Māori Development• Te Reo Māori

Te Puea MatoeTe Roroa/Ngāti Ruahine3rd-year student, Bachelor of Arts in Māori Development and Bachelor of Laws double degrees

“If you want to make a difference to your community and people, studying double degrees in law and Māori development is a great option. I’ve long been interested in law, and there’s definitely a need for more Māori lawyers. My goal is to use my qualifications to enhance support and opportunities for Māori. AUT is known as an innovative, contemporary university with a community feel and great academic staff. My Māori development and law lecturers have been awesome, not to mention the other students I’ve met. I’ve learnt so much – from developing good time management skills to the importance of networking and maintaining good, healthy relationships. I’m proud of my excellent grades, and have received the Peter Harwood Scholarship for Community Excellence and Leadership for the third year in a row.”

Recognition of Prior LearningA feature of our programmes is Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), a system that provides credit for your previous learning and experience. You may be able to get formal credit if you have completed a university or technical institute course that closely matches the level and content of an AUT paper. You normally need to have completed this course within the last five years. If you have a variety of learning and experience (for example professional development workshops and work experience) that matches the learning within a paper, you may be able to apply for non-formal credit.

Ripeka ReadNgāpuhi, Ngāti Hine, Te Waiariki Digital Content Graduate, Auckland Council Bachelor of Māori Development in Māori Media

“I would definitely recommend this degree to others who have a passion for anything Māori, digital and media-related as you gain strong theoretical and practical skills while strengthening your own personal development. The degree was made up of a range of practical papers, keeping me driven throughout my studies. My favourite paper was the Māori media project, which enabled me to guide my own learning. I’ve now joined Auckland Council as a digital content graduate. It’s a two-year graduate programme and a great opportunity for me to gain a range of on-the-job experience in many different departments of Auckland Council.”

“AUT is a forward-thinking university that really cares about its students. I decided to study at AUT because it’s known for its whānau-orientated culture. I grew up in a small rural community called Opahi, so to have such a supportive community at AUT was an amazing feeling. AUT offers numerous opportunities that have the potential to change your life. For example, I completed my degree last December, and now I’m living and working in Los Angeles thanks to the AUT Internz International Scholarships Programme. In this role, I help the Paramount Recording Studios management with the administration. I enjoy being involved in this behind-the-scenes part of the music industry. This internship has shown me that the phrase ‘The show business doesn’t sleep’ is 100% true. I’m really enjoying this internship.”

“Postgraduate study was a great way to build on my background in communications and television, and explore research related to rangatahi Māori like me from Ōpōtiki. My favourite part of my master’s degree was the personal journey it took me on. I wasn’t only learning about my subject, but also about my culture and self-identity. After graduating, I was privileged enough to be the first recipient of the AUT Internz International Scholarship to intern at the Sundance Institute in Los Angeles. One of the main goals of the programme is to develop the visibility of Native American and indigenous artists, and supporting indigenous storytelling. This has huge relevance for me and what I want to achieve as an aspiring indigenous filmmaker.”

“It’s inspiring to see the level of leadership and forward thinking AUT staff have, and the way they encourage students to test boundaries and assumptions. It resonated with me straight away when I first attended a language hui at AUT, and helped to ignite my own passion for the discipline. For my thesis, I researched my own tribal language history and our language revitalisation journey, in the context of the international work on language revitalisation. I enjoyed being around students and experts from New Zealand and the world who are just as passionate about my area of interest as I am. They ‘get it’ – and are committed to making their research and learning count to make a difference. That speaks to me.”

“Doing a PhD provides the skills and experiences for Māori to succeed for their people. We need to continue to build up a critical mass of Māori academics and researchers, so that our people have the skills and abilities to positively transform our whānau, hapū, iwi and communities. I analysed and re-interpreted a prophecy given to the Te Patuheuheu people by the nineteenth century Māori prophet Te Kooti. From that analysis developed the beginning of a hapū development model.

“I was drawn to Te Ara Poutama because of inspirational academics, manaakitanga, and quality, hands-on supervision. AUT has been nothing but supportive. They have been forthcoming with funding and assistance in every way.

“My PhD is really just the beginning of a discussion about how my people can access the knowledge inherent in their culture and history to find ways forward in terms of hapū and community development.”
