Entry Requirements |
Each course of the programme is located within tikanga Māori and approximately one quarter of the programme is allocated to te reo Māori studies, thus, strong motivation to become bilingual is required for entry to this programme. Students will require research assistance from an Iwi or Hapū and therefore candidates for the programme need to be able to provide letters from their Iwi/Hapū, committing their support to the candidates.
In accordance with Social Work Registration Board (SWRB) regulations, all prospective and current students in the Toiora Whānau programmes at Te Wānanga o Raukawa will need to undergo a police vet each year. Students must be aged 17 years old or over. Prospective students will also have an interview and write a 300 word paper outlining their interest in the toiora whānau area. If you are a returning student of more than 8 years ago an interview process with Ngā Pūkenga will take place prior to enrolment to determine training currency. |
