Study with us
Māori support
Open Polytechnic plays an important role in Māori tertiary education. We are the second largest provider in terms of individual Māori students.
Open Polytechnic is committed to supporting lifelong learning for Māori people. We have study awards specifically for Māori students and have a Kaiārahi Akoranga Māori/Learning Adviser Māori who works in Te Kura Wānanga (The Māori Office) and can provide study advice. For more information contact Tom Anderson on 0508 650 200 Ext. 5585 or email tom.anderson@openpolytechnic.ac.nz
Open Polytechnic recognises te reo Māori as one of the three official languages of New Zealand and we accept work submitted in te reo.
