Our school is the centre of New Zealand's academic expertise in Asian and European studies.

We have a demonstrated record of excellence in teaching and research, driven by our belief that the humanities are of intrinsic value to society today.

We engage critically with studies of culture and communication and issues confronting humanity and society in the past, the present and into the future.

We actively support Māori and Pacific development by advancing our knowledge of Te Ao Māori and Pacific worldviews through our teaching and research.

Since the first Faculty of Arts appeal in 2004, our benefactors have provided financial support for many students who have come to the University.
