Help and advice

The Pouāwhina Māori provides Māori students with cultural, pastoral and academic support while at Auckland Law School.

Pouāwhina Māori responsibilities

The Pouāwhina Māori at the Auckland Law School is committed to providing support to all Māori tauira (students) interested or currently pursuing law.

If you are a prospective student, the Pouāwhina Māori is able to offer advice about the entry requirements for LLB Part I and the relevant standards expected to progress through to LLB Part II.

As the support advisor for our tauira, the Pouāwhina's key responsibilities are:

  • To act as a point of contact for all Māori students enrolled in a Law degree
  • Collaborating with the university support services and academic departments to provide students with comprehensive support in all aspects of their course of study
  • Helping students access pastoral care, financial support, academic assistance, student services, and course planning advice within the university
  • Organising and coordinating tutorials, wānanga, and other support activities for all core Law papers within the Māori Academic Programme (MAP)
