About the course

What can I expect out of this qualification?

This qualification, underpinned by mātauranga Māori, is intended to provide the graduate with broad theoretical, technical, practical knowledge and skills, to equip tauira with information and tools, and to enhance their rights as kaitiaki of their interests in natural resources.

The purpose of this qualification is to provide whānau, hapū and iwi, with graduates who are able to understand and apply sustainability practices to coastal and freshwater bodies based on mātauranga Māori within local environments.

Marae, whānau, hapū and iwi will benefit from having graduates who have skills and knowledge in mātauranga Māori and contemporary science to care for, develop, sustain, enhance and manage their own environment to support and guide current and future generations.

Graduates will further be able to utilise their skills and knowledge to provide broad strategies to protect and manage freshwater and marine bodies for the benefit of their own marae, whānau, hapū and iwi.
