About us:

Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has been providing transformational education opportunities to New Zealanders for 35 years.  We are a national education provider with more than 27,000 tauira enrolling with us each year.  As the tertiary sector embarks on a challenging and exciting period of change, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is committed to supporting our tauira, their whānau and communities and being at the forefront of Mātauranga Māori tertiary education.
