Overview

The Maori and Indigenous Leadership course from University of Canterbury was developed in response to growing market demand for managers, governors and other leaders within all spheres of the 'MÄori sector'.

Careers

Graduates of this qualification will be in an ideal position to enhance the leadership capability in organisations working with MÄori, including Iwi, MÄori, government, community, and private sector organisations.

The graduating cohort will be expected to critically engage with and advance MÄori aspirations in their strategic leadership careers. They will show the skills and attributes needed to lead and implement change in MÄori and indigenous contexts.

Knowledge of indigenous development in a global context opens up job opportunities and scope as well.
