Te Pūtahi-a-Toi, the School of Māori Knowledge is the cultural heart of the Manawatū campus, while the Pukeahu Marae development project will provide an exciting cultural and learning space at the Wellington campus.
Tauira Māori are also supported by Māori Student Associations on each campus and Māori student recruitment advisors are available to help with enrolment and career advice.
