heke kaitiakitanga pūtaiao
diploma in environmental management
Become a guardian of our great outdoors as you examine the lay of the land, the sound of the bush, the feel of the water and the natural laws of the land.
This programme will take you on a journey of self-discovery instilling environmental values consistent with kaupapa and tikanga Māori, as you equip yourself with the necessary tools to ensure the survival of our taonga tuku iho for generations to come.
Kaitiakitanga Pūtaiao explores the roles and responsibilities of tangata whenua to ngā taonga tuku iho (our inherited treasures) and how to uplift and maintain the wellbeing of our environment from a kaupapa Māori perspective.
Engage with like-minded environmentalists and gain an understanding of a kaupapa Māori approach to the environment. This tohu is ideal if you are looking to start a career in the fast-growing environmental science industry, and is the first year of the degree programme.
At diploma level you are introduced to the foundations of environmental management, iwi and hapū studies and te reo Māori. The diploma is also the first year of the Poutuarongo Kaitiakitanga Pūtaiao programme.
TE REO AND IWI AND HAPŪ STUDIES
Over the year, you will complete weekly tutorials and activities in Te Reo via our online space, Mūrau. These not only prepare you to attend two five-day long hui rumaki reo on campus at the end of each semester; but will further enhance your pūtaiao journey as you learn the value and mana our language holds in the healing space. Yes, it can be scary, but you will not be taking the journey alone nor do you do not need to have any reo to begin! You will be guided every step of the way with tutor support.
You will also study two papers in
Iwi and Hapū studies to compliment your learning, these are often the most rewarding part of study for the majority of our students as they gain a deep connection back to their roots. Your Iwi and Hapū papers will be online with excellent tutor support to help you through, week by week activities. The assignments that you complete will become a taonga and resource for your whānau, marae, iwi and will be treasured for years to come.
