Bachelor of Arts in Pacific Studies

Develop a deeper understanding of the Pacific region through a Pacific Studies degree, where you explore the lands, cultures, and languages that shape island communities. The programme introduces you to the ideas and contributions of key thinkers, political figures, artists, and activists from across the Pacific.

You’ll examine how historical forces such as imperialism and colonialism have influenced Pasifika societies, while also looking at current social, cultural, and political issues affecting the region today. A core part of the course includes learning a Pacific Island language, such as Sāmoan, Māori, or French, helping you connect more closely with the communities you study.

For students interested in Pacific cultures, indigenous studies, and global perspectives, this field offers valuable insight into the region’s past and present.
