Tēnā koutou katoa. We are now hosting Māori graduation ceremonies for all 3 campuses where graduands receive their degrees and diplomas in a Māori ceremony. Māori graduation ceremonies are open to all students.
You are welcome to bring whānau and friends to Māori Graduation. Further details will be available soon. Please refer to our Graduation page.
What happens at Māori graduation
Here’s what will happen at the ceremony:
- whakatau for manuhiri
- graduates in their academic dress will be individually acknowledged with their degree and iwi affiliations and called to the stage to receive their degrees and diplomas
- whānau will have the opportunity to mihi to them (for example, karanga, waiata, haka, karakia)
- refreshments.
We are very excited to be able to host Māori Graduation. If you have any other questions please contact Robyn Matthews at r.m.matthews@massey.ac.nz
Bringing guests and tamariki
You are welcome to bring up to 10 guests with you to the ceremony. Children are welcome. It is inspiring for our tamariki to see the success of their whānau.
What to wear
You're required to wear academic dress and the hood of your discipline. You may wear Korowai (Māori cloak) with your academic regalia. Cloaks should be worn over the gown and under the hood.
For more information about what to wear and hiring academic dress see the Academic Dress Hire website.
