Master of Arts

The Master of Arts at the University of Auckland offers a range of flexible options, including research and taught degrees, with one-year or 18-month durations depending on your qualifications. With more than 40 subjects to choose from, you can tailor your studies to either deepen your expertise in your current field or explore a new area of interest. The research master's program provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to your field through a substantial research project, guided by New Zealand's leading scholars. In a taught master's, you can enhance your knowledge in small classes, benefit from close interactions with academic staff, and undertake a smaller research project.
The Master of Arts program is a powerful way to elevate your knowledge and skills. Graduates combine strategic and critical thinking with global and cultural awareness, opening doors to careers in government, international development, museums, media production, research, and policy. Job opportunities include roles such as archaeologist, content and advertising manager, development officer, intelligence analyst, museum director, research associate, and strategy and stakeholder manager.
