Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts in International Studies“I was the first person in my family to go to uni, and I didn’t know anyone at AUT. The support systems in place for first-year Māori students really set me up for success, particularly the taura kaiwhatu tutoring programme. I had a fantastic tutor in my first year, and was a tutor myself for several years afterwards.” “I was the first person in my family to go to uni, and I didn’t know anyone at AUT.

Bachelor of Arts in Māori Development “The best part about my studies at AUT was the sense of whānau that is built through Pou Māori – Māori Centre, the Te Ara Poutama faculty, the Office of Māori Advancement and Titahi ki TUA. Without the sense of belonging created through these avenues, my university experience would have been a lot more daunting.” “The best part about my studies at AUT was the sense of whānau that is built through Pou Māori – Māori Centre, the Te Ara Poutama faculty, the Office of Māori Advancement and Titahi ki TUA.

Bachelor of Business “Moving to Auckland from Gisborne was pretty scary at first. I didn’t know what to expect. Hariata Mareroa from AUT’s Pou Māori – Māori Centre made me realise that there’s a big Māori community at AUT. Pou Māori has really helped me settle in, helped with finances and gives us extra support if we need it." “Moving to Auckland from Gisborne was pretty scary at first. I didn’t know what to expect.
