Taking on tertiary studies can be overwhelming, especially if you haven’t studied for a long time. We have a diversity of students at the faculty, including school-leavers and mature students, and who come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Regardless of age or what corner of Aotearoa they come from, our students, staff and graduates have one thing in common - genuine interest in helping our tamariki achieve.
As a teacher you’ll have the opportunity to inspire and help our young people reach their full potential and become confident global citizens.
Getting the best of both worlds
Studying at Te Puna Wānanga gives you the best of both worlds. You’ll gain a highly regarded qualification from New Zealand’s leading university while enjoying the whanaungatanga of the whānau-based, close-knit and supportive environment you’ll find at our Epsom and Tai Tokerau campuses.
