The University of Waikato Master of Laws in Maori/Pacific & Indigenous Peoples' Law

There are several ways to conduct research for your postgraduate degree at Waikato.

Students who have already demonstrated strength in independent research may be permitted to complete the degree by thesis only, an alternative which comprises an advanced investigation under the guidance of a supervisor. It is, therefore, appropriate for a student who wishes to carry out intensive research in a specific area, and to build the skills necessary to contribute original ideas to legal thinking.

Reflecting the University's geographical location, the Master of Laws in Maori (Maori/Pacific and Indigenous Peoples') is a specialist degree designed to explore Pacific legal thought and practice.

It aims to provide candidates with the skills to participate actively in the development of Pacific jurisprudence and to enhance global understanding of Pacific legal systems.
