The Graduate Diploma in Māori Language and Pedagogies: Aumiri Pounamu (GradDipMLP) provides provisionally certified and practising kaiako teachers with the confidence to be educators of te ao Māori.
Our programme will help guide you to embed Māori knowledge and culture into your teaching at early, primary, and secondary schools. This includes te reo, tikanga Māori traditional culture, Aotearoa New Zealand history, and mātauranga Māori worldviews, such as sustainability and our role as kaitiaki protectors of the land.
This is an ideal programme for you to help support Aotearoa New Zealand's commitment to teaching our tamariki the values, culture, and history of our nation.
Note: The GradDipMLP is currently not open to new enrolments.
The GradDipMLP is open to those who are provisionally certified as teachers, those that hold a subject to confirmation practising certificate, and full practising teachers.
You will need to have completed an Aotearoa New Zealand teacher education degree (or other qualifications of an equivalent standard) to enrol in this programme.
For the full entry requirements, see the Regulations for the Graduate Diploma in Māori Language and Pedagogies: Aumiri Pounamu or use the admission requirements checker.
How to applyYou can apply online at myUC.
There will also be a hui with the Programme Coordinator as part of your application to assess your current level of te reo competency and ascertain the support you will need during study.
