Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi is one of three wānanga (tertiary education providers) with statutory recognition under section 268 of the Education and Training Act 2020. This recognition reflects the institution’s special relationship with the Crown and in New Zealand’s education landscape.

Awanuiārangi is a category one education provider, reflecting the high confidence the qualifications authority has in its educational and organisation performance. The qualifications authority conducts External Evaluation & Review reports on every tertiary education organisation no less than every four years.

Awanuiārangi was formally established by Ngāti Awa on 11 February 1992 and maintains strong ties to the Whakatāne-based iwi. It offers education courses from the New Zealand Qualifications Authority’s level one through to doctorate programmes.

The main campus of Awanuiārangi is in Whakatāne, with additional campuses in Tāmaki Makaurau (Manukau, Auckland) and Te Tai Tokerau (Whangārei). Education opportunities are also provided through marae and community networks throughout the country and internationally.
