About the provider
Rukuhia te mātauranga ki tōna hōhonutanga me tōna whānuitanga.
Pursue knowledge to the greatest depths and its broadest horizons.
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.

Campuses
Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) Campus
Situated at the heart of South Auckland, Manukau is home to the largest Polynesian community in the world. Our students are at the centre of a vibrant cosmopolitan centre, surrounded by plenty of retail shops and cafés. Bus stops can be found outside the popular Westfield Manukau shopping centre, and the train station is only a short stroll away. Manukau City is just 20 minutes from Auckland’s central business district, and this newest campus retains our focus on building success and academic achievement not just for Māori, but for all cultures. Our zero-fees foundation and bridging programmes are a popular first rung on the academic ladder, preparing students to move on to higher learning options ranging from undergraduate degrees to Doctoral studies. Programmes are delivered in a variety of ways, including full-time day programmes, evening classes and weekend noho wānanga
Te Tai Tokerau (Northland) Campus
Our Northland site delivers marae-based and block/noho courses at Certificate, Diploma and Degree level. The post-graduate area of study to PhD level continues to grow strongly. Further degree programmes are planned in the fields of Kaitiakitanga/Environment Studies and Education (Teaching). Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi collaborates with Rūnanga and a range of providers in Northland to meet the needs and aspirations of our communities. Classroom space has expanded to meet increased demand, and a video-conferencing unit and computer suite have been installed. A key element in the success of our programmes is the quality of our talented teaching staff in Northland, most of whom whakapapa to Ngāpuhi. This aligns with the vision of Te Rūnanga ā Iwi o Ngāpuhi – ka tū tika ai Te Whare Tapu o Ngāpuhi.
Whakatane Campus
Innovation, advanced technology and cultural design elements are features of a new campus built by Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi to help transform educational outcomes for Māori.

The complex features the high-tech Mark Laws Media Centre, teaching suites and lecture theatres with advanced video conferencing facilities that will connect students, lecturers and their peers nationally and worldwide.
