4 THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO Why New Zealand?

New Zealand has a worldwide reputation for being a welcoming and safe destination. New Zealanders are renowned for their honesty, friendliness and openness. While New Zealand is a relatively young country it has a rich and fascinating history reflecting both our Māori and European heritage.

New Zealand is one of the world’s most affordable English- speaking destinations and is one of the most racially tolerant. Our proximity to the South Pacific Islands, Asia and Australia creates a world of opportunities and we are modern, sophisticated and technologically advanced.

In the South Pacific, to the east of Australia, New Zealand has a North and South Island and a number of smaller islands.

New Zealand has a population of about four million people. The influence of Pacific Island, Asian and European immigrants has helped shape New Zealand into a vibrant and diverse multicultural society. With a low population density, all New Zealanders and visitors have great access to a wide range of sporting facilities, such as golf courses, and other cultural and recreation centres.

New Zealand is world famous for its beautiful environment. The diverse scenery includes impressive mountainous areas, fertile farmland, as well as beautiful coastlines with stunning sandy beaches. New Zealanders and visitors enjoy the wonderful environment in many ways, from relaxing bush walking and soaking in thermal pools to adventurous outdoor activities including hiking, mountaineering and kayaking. Watersports are particularly popular. The summer months of December – April are warm, with colder weather in the winter months of May – November.

In Hamilton during the summer months the average maximum temperature ranges between 15-30° Celsius, and in winter 5-15° Celsius.

Auckland (population 1 million) is 90 minutes drive north. The same distance east brings you to the wilderness of the Coromandel Peninsula and the Bay of Plenty, offering some of the best swimming beaches in New Zealand. The country’s largest winter ski areas are less than three hours drive to the south. Two of the best surfing beaches in New Zealand are located between 45-90 minutes drive away to the east and west of the city. To the south, the cities of Rotorua and Taupo offer an enormous range of Māori, geothermal and adventure sport activities and attractions.

Forest parks, lakes, thermal hot pools and limestone caves can be found all over the Waikato region. Lake Karapiro, only 25 minutes drive from Hamilton, offers world class rowing and other water sport activities. Fishing, tramping and mountain biking are also well catered for.

POKI’I SETO Hawaiian Studies student Graduated in 2000 from Kamehameha Secondary School. I was encouraged by my professors to come to Waikato to study Māori language and culture as a means to strengthen my own language skills and broaden my knowledge of Polynesian cultures. I have learned a lot so far about the Māori people and the struggles that they have been going through since colonization and the signing of the treaty in 1840. Learning about the Māori culture is really opening up my mind and my heart to really dive deeper into my own culture and make sure that I am able to perpetuate it to future generations. The only challenge that I had was getting used to the cold weather. I’m used to a much hotter climate. Other than that, I feel a sense of oneness with the culture because Hawaiians and Māori are very similar in both language and culture. I want to be a teacher of cultural history through mythology. After graduating, I plan to return here to further my studies in Te Reo Māori and Kōrero Purakau (story telling). Ultimately, I plan on teaching Hawaiian history in the Hawaiian Language.

BACHELOR OF MEDIA AND CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIES (BMCT) 3 year degree – 360 points The Bachelor of Media and Creative Technologies is an innovative degree focused on emerging forms of output in new media and creative practices. The BMCT brings several disciplines together in a degree that explores the impact of creative technologies in arts and media, while subjecting those technologies and creative forms to critical inquiry. Internet- driven and microprocessor-powered changes have put creative technologies within everybody’s reach, generating a voracious demand for new content, new ideas and new ways of using ‘old’ media. Online audio and video, portable devices, networking and an on-demand culture have begun to produce a transformed creative environment. This promises ever more innovative ways to create and share content in the 21st century. With the whole history of previous media at your disposal, you will draw on that knowledge to invent new ways of expressing yourself through performance and imagery, of telling stories, of collaborating creatively with others, and of engaging with a wider world. The degree provides a distinctive undergraduate experience leading to graduates who are not only skilled in a variety of contemporary mediated creative practices but also possess a thorough conceptual and critical understanding of their cultural impact.
