“I believe doctoral research will help me broaden my horizons in the interface between Māori culture and environmental engineering.”

Nona is a PhD candidate in Environmental Engineering. His thesis aims to facilitate more efficient collaboration between Māori communities and non-Māori parties to utilise and develop geothermal resources.

“As a member of Te Ārawa and Tainui iwi, I am regularly engaging with various members of Te Ārawa and Ngāti Tūwharetoa hapū and obtaining historical and cultural mōhiotanga (knowledge) of Māori communities’ spiritual and physical links with geothermal resources in the central North Island. I also explore the different worldviews associated with geothermal development to pursue holistic decision-making and ensure cultural, environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

“Within geothermal development, Māori communities are under-benefited, and with little sustainability, our Te Ārawa and Tūwharetoa people are at risk of losing the very gift that our ancestors have thrived with for hundreds of years.

“I am originally from Rotorua where I was immersed in Māori culture and language, and utilised geothermal resources as a member of the local community. By combining my cultural heritage with an education from a western engineering institute, I have the ability to help facilitate sustainable change and increase cultural awareness in the engineering space for our people.

“I hope to raise our younger generation's awareness of past, present and future issues that Māori communities may face if the current direction of geothermal utilisation continues.”

Nona Hohepa-Taute is a PhD candidate in Environmental Engineering. He is a recipient of a Ngāti Mākino Iwi Authority scholarship and GNS Science Doctoral Research Award.

“I learned so many new skills during my postgraduate studies, and it allowed me to develop both professionally as a scientist and grow as a person.”

Rebecca is a graduate of the Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Sciences and a lecturer in Wine Science at the University of Auckland. Her PhD research investigated how different temperatures used during wine fermentation impacts the metabolism of yeast.

“I chose to pursue my doctorate because it was exciting to be able to select a PhD topic that was interdisciplinary, combining my love of genetics and aroma chemistry. My decision to undertake my studies at the University of Auckland was for its strong research culture and world-class science performance.

“My PhD has provided me with many opportunities. At an academic level, my research resulted in the publication of three journal articles in highly-regarded journals in the field of wine science. I was also able to attend three international conferences and present the work from my thesis.

“At a professional level, I was able to work for my supervisor as a lab technician for a year after my PhD, which led to developing commercial wine yeast strains along with some teaching experience. This led to postdoctoral and teaching work which was essential for getting my academic position at the University of Auckland.

“I have also made lifelong friends and developed networks for research collaboration.”

Rebecca Deed is a recipient of the Janet Bain MacKay Memorial Prize, the Frances Briggs Memorial Prize in Plant Sciences, and the Bright Futures Doctoral Scholarship.

“As a Pacific student, the University’s Māori and Pacific Admission Scheme (MAPAS) provides valuable academic and pastoral support that is second to none.”

Julie recently completed a Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours), investigating the perceptions of Māori stroke survivors and their whanau on the use of a robotic aid to assist rehabilitation. She will be extending her research into a PhD, focusing on the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease among Pacific people living in New Zealand.

“Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of preventable death both in New Zealand and globally, and Pacific people in particular experience a disproportionately higher burden compared to the general population.

“There is a lack of Pacific health researchers, and a greater lack of Pacific epidemiologists in New Zealand. I decided to pursue postgraduate study to help change this and do my part to improve the health experiences and outcomes of Pacific people in New Zealand.”

“The reputation of the University of Auckland was one of the reasons that I decided to study here. The calibre of the academic staff and the teaching environment is very high, and there are many internationally-recognised academics in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences.

“My postgrad study helped me to determine what fuels my passion, and where I want to situate myself in the health workforce. I liked that classes were a lot smaller and you could build networks and relationships with peers, staff members and academics who become colleagues when you complete your studies.”

Julie Winter-Smith is a recipient of the Ministry of Health Aniva scholarship and the Pacific Health Workforce Awards.

“I enjoy the independence of postgraduate study. Having a major project to manage is a great challenge that is very exciting to me.”

Originally from the UK, Jarrah is a recipient of a University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship. After completing a Summer Research Scholarship which sparked an interest in further postgraduate study, Jarrah is now studying towards a PhD in Bioengineering.

“My work focuses on cardiac mechanics using the Auckland Bioengineering Institute’s cardiomyometer. The title of my thesis is ‘Transient dynamic performance of cardiac muscle during interventions,’ where an intervention is anything that modifies the contractile state of cardiac muscle be that stimulus frequency, muscle length, or use of pharmacological agents.

“By performing more physiologically relevant experiments, we can get a better understanding of how the heart works. This is especially useful when looking at diseased tissue (e.g. diabetic) where we can figure out what changes or goes wrong, providing us with information about potential targets for treating these conditions.

“I chose the University of Auckland due to its world-leading instrumentation for the study of cardiac muscle, along with the financial security of a doctoral scholarship. The high academic ranking and distinguished reputation of the University was certainly a consideration in my decision to come here for my undergraduate degree. At the time it was the only New Zealand university that offered biomedical engineering and even now, the degree it offers is unparalleled in the country.

“Studying bioengineering at the University is something special – it’s a relatively small group which means that you get to know everyone pretty quickly. ABI has a great social committee which organises events catering to all types of people. I’ve made so many great friends through these events that I would have otherwise never met.”

Jarrah Dowrick is a recipient of the University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship.

Paul is a Master of Commerce in Marketing graduate and now works at Goodman Fielder. Prior to his masters, Paul completed a Summer Research Scholarship at the Business School, conducting research on the consumer behaviour of Pacific adolescent males around sugar-sweetened beverages.

“I was still curious to learn more about marketing when I completed my bachelor’s degree. The work I did on the Summer Research Scholarship sharpened my skills of critical thinking and academic writing, which were required while pursuing my masters. I also knew that a masters degree would give me an edge when seeking employment.

“Longer classes at masters level meant that we could go into much more detail on topics. There was a lot more student engagement, which allowed us to share ideas and learn from each other. I really liked that we had a lot of international students, it meant that discussions in the classroom included experiences and stories from all over the world.

“I liked that we were being taught some of the new frontiers of knowledge, especially in marketing because it would put us in a much better position in the workforce. I hope that the knowledge and skills that I have gained will take me around the world and elevate me to strategic leadership roles.

“My experience at the University was amazing and I made a lot of friends, fond memories and connections - especially my supervisor Dr Bodo Lang. I have not ruled out a return to complete a PhD.”

“The Master of Social Work has enabled me to progress with research and explore wider issues in youth forensic services, thus improving my own practice.”

“I have been working as a social worker in a youth forensic team since 2011, providing mental health assessment and interventions in an Oranga Tamariki youth justice residence. My masters research focused on how Oranga Tamariki experienced clinical information sharing, and also how my colleagues around New Zealand were practising information sharing within this context.

“This research project was the first of its kind. As a result of the rich qualitative data obtained, I was able to develop a model of information sharing for this context. I was thrilled with one of the outcomes from the research – the first-ever national youth forensic forum that was held in Auckland in October 2018. This forum was a chance for the youth forensic workforce to come together for the first time, to build connections and to discuss models of service. I’m even more excited that there is motivation from this group of clinicians to continue this event on an annual basis.

“I decided to pursue this postgraduate qualification after practising as a social worker for over a decade. My hope was to explore some very practice-based issues in my field. What I gained was even more valuable, as the research project itself led to the formation of strategic relationships with both Oranga Tamariki and youth forensic teams, as well as increased confidence in research and specialist subject knowledge.

“I chose the University of Auckland because of the excellent reputation of its social work programme. I was already familiar with many of the teaching staff through my own social work practice, and so it was an easy decision to pursue my postgraduate studies here.”

Jo Appleby has recently completed a Master of Social Work and was supported in her study by the A+ Trust and the Māori Education Trust.

1. Part-time study options are generally not available to international students on student visas. International students must be enrolled full-time to meet the requirements of their student visa.

2. 1 December start available for 120-point research masters only, subject to supervisor availability.

3. Based on annual tuition fees for full-time study of 120 points except: programmes that require 60 points to complete (the annual tuition fee for 60 points is shown); some one-year programmes offered by the Faculty of Education and Social Work require 150 or 160 points to complete (the annual tuition fee for the points required to complete these programmes is shown); the full programme fee is shown for Graduate School of Management programmes. Tuition fees are indicative only and the fees for 2020 will be set at the end of 2019. All students will also pay a student services fee. As an indication, this fee is $847.20 for students undertaking a full-time load of 120 points in 2019. Students taking fewer than 120 points pay proportionately lower fees.

4. Semester Two start may not be possible for all subjects/majors/specialisations and only if places are available.

5. Upon the recommendation of the Academic Head and approval from the Board of Graduate Studies, a candidate may present a corpus of creative work for assessment with a written thesis, comprising an integrated whole.

6. New international PhD students will be accorded domestic status for the purposes of tuition fees, subject to supervisory and residency requirements. A new international PhD student is defined as a foreign student enrolled for the first time in a Doctor of Philosophy programme at a New Zealand university. Note that to be eligible for the domestic fee, you must reside in New Zealand for the duration of your doctoral programme. However, you may undertake research activities overseas during your doctoral programme (for a cumulative total of no more than 12 months).

7. Part-time only.

8. Professional programme accredited by the relevant professional body.

“Having a wealth of knowledge from Pacific academics that you can tap into is a very unique aspect of Pacific Studies at the University of Auckland. The support you receive is incredible.”

“My Master of Arts research thesis examined the professional experiences of mental health service providers who were working with, or had worked with young Samoan females aged 18-24 who had been diagnosed with depression.

“I was very fortunate to have Dr Jemaima Tiatia-Seath as my tutor, lecturer and mentor. I was very interested in her work and was trying to figure out how I could make a difference for Pacific communities. I had always said that I would only do a masters degree if I knew it would be of use to others, and Dr Tiatia-Seath helped me achieve this.

“I really liked that the Master of Arts in Pacific Studies did not limit me in terms of what I could do for my research. You have so many brilliant minds in Pacific Studies who all have their unique passions and disciplines, but are brought together to collectively empower Pacific communities.

“I chose to pursue postgraduate studies because I saw it as being essential in becoming a Samoan researcher in Pacific health. There is very little literature about depression within Pacific communities, let alone young Samoan females. I hope that my research will help to inform future service delivery to better support the mental health needs of this particular demographic, and to contribute to Samoan and gender-focused suicide prevention initiatives.”

Sarah McLean is a graduate of the Master of Arts in Pacific Studies. She is the recipient of a Pacific Health Masters scholarship from the Health Research Council of New Zealand, a Ministry of Health Aniva scholarship, and a Le Va Pacific Mental Health and Addictions scholarship.

“Postgraduate study has helped develop and define my skill set, clarify my creative focus and will provide me with an internationally-recognised qualification that is held in esteem by institutions around the world.”

“I was awarded a Summer Research Scholarship to study methods of integrating musical textures into virtual reality environments. This foundational research was hugely inspiring to me and led directly into the pursuit of further study.”

“My research in this area opened my eyes to an ever-expanding array of creative possibilities and research avenues offered by this technology. One of my studies on musical interactivity in virtual reality was accepted into the International Computer Music Conference 2017, and this opportunity saw me travelling to Daegu, South Korea to present my work as a five-day virtual reality installation.

“As an aspiring composer, I was drawn to the teaching staff at the University of Auckland. The composition department features perhaps the most diverse collective of internationally-recognised composers and lecturers in the country. The level of support offered by the department allowed me to progress further and achieve more than I ever could have without their expertise and enthusiasm.

“When I travel overseas to conferences or music festivals, my alma mater is always a conversation starter. So many students from the University of Auckland have gone on to make names for themselves as international composers and as teachers at other world-class universities.

“I decided to pursue postgraduate studies when it became clear to me that I had only begun to scratch the surface of my area of interest – my research focus had become my passion and I wasn’t ready to give it up. I hope this qualification will lead me further into a career in academia and freelance composition.”

“I like the flexibility of the programme and the support from staff and students alike.”

PhD candidate Pania, of Ngāti Rangitihi and Ngai Tahu descent, is a recipient of the HRC Māori Health Research PhD Scholarship. She is researching the effects of artificial sweetener in the maternal diet on offspring fertility and health outcomes.

“Currently, artificial sweeteners are seen as the healthy alternative to regular sugar. However evidence suggests that they may be linked to obesity and metabolic dysfunction. We also know that the maternal environment is one factor which can contribute to offspring obesity - for example, maternal obesity is more likely to cause obesity in offspring in later life.

“As global and local obesity rates continue to rise, it’s important to understand the mechanisms through which maternal environment and diet can influence offspring health. Investigating what effect artificial sweeteners have on the health of mothers and their offspring will help contribute to the growing knowledge on early life development.

“The University of Auckland offered a PhD programme that suited my needs, and I found the Liggins Institute’s research themes aligned well with my interests. Developing friendships with my fellow Liggins Institute PhD students has been really easy. They are all willing to stop and chat and make new students feel welcome.”

“My degree will help teach me invaluable lab and research skills. The ability to travel to local and international conferences to discuss my work and hear about other research in my area of interest is a great way of sharing knowledge, making contacts, and seeing what opportunities might be out there following my PhD.”

Pania Bridge-Comer is a PhD candidate in Biomedical Science. She is a recipient of the HRC Māori Health Research PhD Scholarship.

“I enjoyed learning from lecturers and classmates whose real-life examples were grounded in their experience.”

Suzanne has recently completed a Master of Commercialisation and Entrepreneurship. This part-time masters for working professionals combines taught courses with applied learning and includes a project in commercialisation to apply these skills in a real-life context.

“I decided on postgraduate study because I wanted to validate my skills of recognising commercialisation pathways for businesses that I work with in my economic development role for ATEED. I also wanted to validate the due diligence process used in my role as an investment specialist so that I can better anticipate international investors’ business decision criteria and deliver them the evidence they need to invest in Auckland companies, or to establish their business here.

“I chose the University of Auckland as the Business School is well regarded both locally and internationally, with the University of Auckland being the highest ranked university in New Zealand for its global reputation amongst both academics and employers.”

“I believe having this masters will demonstrate to current and future employers that I have entrepreneurial and commercialisation skills beyond my current role, that I am able to apply those to assess the commercial potential of a service, product or business model, and that I am able to draw on practical skills to assist companies with their commercialisation journey.”

Suzanne McKinnon is a graduate of the Master of Commercialisation and Entrepreneurship.
