Expressions of Interest for our 2025 enrolments have now closed.
If you would like to be considered for our 2026 cohort, please sign up to our social accounts and our online newsletter for news and updates. Please note, our enrolment process for 2026 classes will likely run between May-August 2025.
We aim to be as transparent as possible about our application process, here is a document that outlines the various criteria we have when considering potential candidates. To strengthen your chances of entry into our programmes, here are some things you can do before the application process:
- Learn as much te reo Māori as possible (completing L1-4 minimum)
- Participating in Te Wānanga Ihorangi community events
- Preparing your world to engage in study (what is your plan to pay the bills?)
During the 2025 recruitment drive, there were three formal applicants for every seat in class. Considering this reality, we encourage potential applicants to apply for positions in other institutes as well as a backup for 2026.
