Te Wananga o Aotearoa

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is a uniquely Māori learning environment for everyone. We’re not a university or a polytech. We’re a wānanga. And that’s just a little bit different. If you want to learn in an environment that’s been designed for your success, this is the place for you.
Certificates, diplomas, degrees and a master’s degree, we do it all. And we do it with commitment, aroha, and all the support you might need along the way. Culturally rich and inclusive, we believe that what’s good for Māori is good for the world, and we’d love for you to come and experience that.
