In 2024, the new te reo course titles reflect our connection to Ngā Wai o Horotiu Marae (AUT marae) and the waters that connect us to our language, and those places and people of significance to us. Moving forward, we will also have some minor changes at beginner level, including a prerequisite requirement for students to have a strong foundation.
