The course aims to increase students’ knowledge of New Zealand history and culture through diverse and engaging topics such as Maori Migration and Settlement, New Zealand Literature and New Zealand Society and Religion. Students of the course are also presented with the opportunity to think critically, express their own opinions on topics relating to New Zealand, and to use English in an academic setting.
