Iwi and Hapū Studies are a distinctive feature of all studies at Te Wānanga-o-Raukawa. This is reflected in the requirement that approximately a third of any programme will focus on a student’s hapū or iwi.
Iwi and Hapū Studies facilitate learning about the individual, their identity and whakapapa. It provides a forum for students to study their own whānau, hapū and Iwi. Through assignment work it will help to connect the student with the whole, that is: iwi, hapū, and the whānau.

Te Wānanga o Raukawa aims to make its contribution, however small, to the preparation of our people for the new world. Essentially this preparation will be toward maintaining and enhancing the health and wealth of our whānau, hapū and iwi through being active participants in the knowledge economy and society. Our people could be big contributors to the identity of Aotearoa New Zealand in the global knowledge society. Our reo, our symbols, our literature, our world view and so on; make us distinctive on this earth and could be absolutely essential for Aotearoa New Zealand to survive in the knowledge society.
The Māori language is a high priority for Te Wānanga-o-Raukawa. Te Reo Māori contains particular perspectives and views and is the doorway by which you may enter the house of Māori knowledge. All students are required to study the Māori language; the goal is for students to become fully bilingual.
Undergraduate students are required to attend at least three six-day total immersion noho (live in) as well as weekly language classes (or undertake distance learning) each year. 'Whakarongo, titiro, kōrero' listening, observing, speaking are key components of the immersion noho, students enjoy a myriad of activities including formal instruction, games, song and more to improve their language.
Postgraduate students who study te reo Māori have a medium to high competency in te reo Māori. Te Reo Māori studies at Postgraduate level requires students to address among other things reo revitalisation and to analyse more intensively the structure and meaning of te reo.
