Gain an internationally-recognised Master's Degree in Indigenous Studies 'ONLINE'

Te Tumu, the School of Mäori, Pacific and Indigenous Studies at the University of Otago, is excited to be able to offer its Master of Indigenous Studies (MIndS) as an online programme from 2006.

The MIndS programme is offered to graduates interested in examining the issues affecting indigenous peoples, both in New Zealand and worldwide.

It is a unique one-year (full-time) or two-year (part-time) programme offering students a life-altering educational opportunity that can lead to an extraordinary range of career options. This opportunity, previously only available on campus, will now be available online to students anywhere.

In many countries there is an increasing accountability and concern for the needs of indigenous peoples. As a result, those with skills and experience in this area are increasingly sought after. The knowledge gained in this programme can be applied in many international contexts.

As Charis Brown, a graduate of the programme explains “Since completing the Master of Indigenous Studies, I have had a multitude of doors open and the opportunity to work in fields that I had never experienced previously. The MIndS degree complements any graduate degree and is not only the starting point for a great career, it is also the start of an insightful personal journey that enables the growth, enlightenment and education of all those who participate.”
