Ngā Whare Ako Ki Te Wānanga O Raukawa Our Houses of Learning Te Wānanga o Raukawa is made up of five academic whare: TE WHARE ARONUI If you are studying at diploma level and above you will engage with Te Whare Aronui as you undertake Iwi and Hapū Studies. For many students this helps to build cultural confidence by researching connections with marae, hapū and iwi. Delivered online with comprehensive resources, Iwi and Hapū Studies is supported by an experienced team of pūkenga (teachers) and kaikōkiri (administrators) who are active members of their marae, hapū and iwi.

TE WHARE ORANGA Te Whare Oranga courses focus on the health and wellbeing of people, whānau, community and our environment. Whether it be a certificate in physical wellbeing (Pakari Tinana) or diploma in holistic wellbeing (Rongoā Māori) Te Whare Oranga courses appeal to those who want to make a difference for our people starting with ourselves and our whānau. Degree programmes include Kawa Oranga (Health Promotion, Sport and Exercise Science), Toiora Whānau (Social Work) and Kaitiakitanga Pūtaiao (Environmental Management). 20 TE WHARE KŌKIRI All courses at Te Wānanga o Raukawa are underpinned by mātauranga Māori to open us to the Māori world view. With Te Whare Kōkiri you can specialise in mātauranga Māori from diploma to masters level or complete postgraduate studies in management for a unique edge in the Aotearoa business world and beyond. For those interested in caring for our inherited treasures in their many forms, there is a degree in information management (Puna Maumahara). Te Whare Kōkiri also offer certificates for the art forms of karanga and whaikōrero and a degree specialising in carving or weaving. Te Whare Kōkiri qualifications can change individual perspectives and help to disseminate the knowledge of our ancestors through graduates and their future pursuits. TE WHARE WHAKAAKORANGA Te Whare Whakaakoranga is the base of our teaching degrees and Māori laws and philosophy qualifications (Ahunga Tikanga). For early childhood, primary or secondary school teaching, our immersion and bilingual teaching degrees are approved for TeachNZ study awards and scholarships. Postgraduate options are available for those looking to advance to management roles in Māori medium or other schools. From diploma to masters level, Ahunga Tikanga explores Māori legal systems prior to contact with Western influences and the presence of tikanga as a highly successful and self-contained law.
