“I believe doctoral research will help me broaden my horizons in the interface between Māori culture and environmental engineering.”

Nona is a PhD candidate in Environmental Engineering. His thesis aims to facilitate more efficient collaboration between Māori communities and non-Māori parties to utilise and develop geothermal resources.

“As a member of Te Ārawa and Tainui iwi, I am regularly engaging with various members of Te Ārawa and Ngāti Tūwharetoa hapū and obtaining historical and cultural mōhiotanga (knowledge) of Māori communities’ spiritual and physical links with geothermal resources in the central North Island. I also explore the different worldviews associated with geothermal development to pursue holistic decision-making and ensure cultural, environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

“Within geothermal development, Māori communities are under-benefited, and with little sustainability, our Te Ārawa and Tūwharetoa people are at risk of losing the very gift that our ancestors have thrived with for hundreds of years.

“I am originally from Rotorua where I was immersed in Māori culture and language, and utilised geothermal resources as a member of the local community. By combining my cultural heritage with an education from a western engineering institute, I have the ability to help facilitate sustainable change and increase cultural awareness in the engineering space for our people.

“I hope to raise our younger generation's awareness of past, present and future issues that Māori communities may face if the current direction of geothermal utilisation continues.”

Nona Hohepa-Taute is a PhD candidate in Environmental Engineering. He is a recipient of a Ngāti Mākino Iwi Authority scholarship and GNS Science Doctoral Research Award.

“I learned so many new skills during my postgraduate studies, and it allowed me to develop both professionally as a scientist and grow as a person.”

Rebecca is a graduate of the Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Sciences and a lecturer in Wine Science at the University of Auckland. Her PhD research investigated how different temperatures used during wine fermentation impacts the metabolism of yeast.

“I chose to pursue my doctorate because it was exciting to be able to select a PhD topic that was interdisciplinary, combining my love of genetics and aroma chemistry. My decision to undertake my studies at the University of Auckland was for its strong research culture and world-class science performance.

“My PhD has provided me with many opportunities. At an academic level, my research resulted in the publication of three journal articles in highly-regarded journals in the field of wine science. I was also able to attend three international conferences and present the work from my thesis.

“At a professional level, I was able to work for my supervisor as a lab technician for a year after my PhD, which led to developing commercial wine yeast strains along with some teaching experience. This led to postdoctoral and teaching work which was essential for getting my academic position at the University of Auckland.

“I have also made lifelong friends and developed networks for research collaboration.”

“As a Pacific student, the University’s Māori and Pacific Admission Scheme (MAPAS) provides valuable academic and pastoral support that is second to none.”

Julie recently completed a Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours), investigating the perceptions of Māori stroke survivors and their whanau on the use of a robotic aid to assist rehabilitation. She will be extending her research into a PhD, focusing on the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease among Pacific people living in New Zealand.

“Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of preventable death both in New Zealand and globally, and Pacific people in particular experience a disproportionately higher burden compared to the general population.

“There is a lack of Pacific health researchers, and a greater lack of Pacific epidemiologists in New Zealand. I decided to pursue postgraduate study to help change this and do my part to improve the health experiences and outcomes of Pacific people in New Zealand.”

“The reputation of the University of Auckland was one of the reasons that I decided to study here. The calibre of the academic staff and the teaching environment is very high, and there are many internationally-recognised academics in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences.

“My postgrad study helped me to determine what fuels my passion, and where I want to situate myself in the health workforce. I liked that classes were a lot smaller and you could build networks and relationships with peers, staff members and academics who become colleagues when you complete your studies.”

Julie Winter-Smith is a recipient of the Ministry of Health Aniva scholarship and the Pacific Health Workforce Awards.

“I enjoy the independence of postgraduate study. Having a major project to manage is a great challenge that is very exciting to me.”

Originally from the UK, Jarrah is a recipient of a University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship. After completing a Summer Research Scholarship which sparked an interest in further postgraduate study, Jarrah is now studying towards a PhD in Bioengineering.

“My work focuses on cardiac mechanics using the Auckland Bioengineering Institute’s cardiomyometer. The title of my thesis is ‘Transient dynamic performance of cardiac muscle during interventions,’ where an intervention is anything that modifies the contractile state of cardiac muscle be that stimulus frequency, muscle length, or use of pharmacological agents.

“By performing more physiologically relevant experiments, we can get a better understanding of how the heart works. This is especially useful when looking at diseased tissue (e.g. diabetic) where we can figure out what changes or goes wrong, providing us with information about potential targets for treating these conditions.

“I chose the University of Auckland due to its world-leading instrumentation for the study of cardiac muscle, along with the financial security of a doctoral scholarship. The high academic ranking and distinguished reputation of the University was certainly a consideration in my decision to come here for my undergraduate degree. At the time it was the only New Zealand university that offered biomedical engineering and even now, the degree it offers is unparalleled in the country.

“Studying bioengineering at the University is something special – it’s a relatively small group which means that you get to know everyone pretty quickly. ABI has a great social committee which organises events catering to all types of people. I’ve made so many great friends through these events that I would have otherwise never met.”

You can develop essential transferrable skills as well as specialised research skills, both of which are relevant to a range of careers.

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is available in 100 different subjects and is offered in all faculties and large-scale research institutes.

The University also offers six named doctorates: Doctor of Clinical Psychology, Doctor of Education, Doctor of Fine Arts, Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts.

For the PhD, you will prepare a substantial thesis of original research that contributes significantly to knowledge and understanding in your discipline. Your thesis may include publications you have written under supervision for this degree or, for those in a creative arts or design discipline, you may present a body of creative work for assessment with your thesis. Our doctoral candidates work closely with at least one appointed supervisor and many work in a team of researchers.

We offer a wealth of English-language enrichment opportunities to support your studies. All new doctoral candidates take a Diagnostic English Language Needs Assessment

Calculating your GPA/GPEGrades or marks achieved at the University of Auckland are given a grade point average (GPA).

Grades or marks achieved at other institutions are given a grade point equivalent (GPE). Use our GPE calculator for an indication of your GPE: gpecalculator.auckland.ac.nz

English-language requirementsThe minimum requirement is an overall IELTS academic score of 6.5 with no band less than 6.0, or an approved equivalent. Some programmes require higher levels of English proficiency, see:

www.auckland.ac.nz/pg-english-reqs

(DELNA) as part of their provisional goals. This helps us allocate you any English-language support you might need to ensure your academic success (see page 49 for more information on English-language support).

Programme entryAcceptance to our doctoral programmes is based on academic merit.

You must be able to demonstrate an ability to carry out independent research and have already completed a significant research project, dissertation or thesis, at university.

If you have New Zealand postgraduate qualifications, you need to have completed a postgraduate bachelors (honours) degree with first class or second class (division 1) honours, or a masters degree with first class or second class (division 1) honours, in a field related to your doctoral studies.

If you have overseas qualifications, you will need to have completed a masters-level qualification in a field related to your doctoral studies. You must have a GPE of at least 5.5.

Your acceptance into a doctoral programme is dependent on the availability of appropriate supervision and study facilities.

“There’s never been a better time to gain the skills that the Master of Conflict and Terrorism Studies can teach you.”

Eloise is a graduate of the Master of Conflict and Terrorism Studies (MCTS) programme. She now works as an Intelligence Analyst for the New Zealand Police.

“During my bachelors degree, I became interested in understanding wider theories of conflict, peace, and terrorism within political science. These interests led me to the Master of Conflict and Terrorism Studies.

“I learnt so many skills I use every day in my role as an Intelligence Analyst – from clear and concise communication skills, to analytical research skills, to the ability to think critically about things that might be taken for granted.

“My role is to analyse ongoing trends within crime in Auckland to identify emerging risks or patterns. The New Zealand Police take a prevention first approach towards crime, and my job is to embody this approach by identifying issues within crime before they fully emerge.

“I wanted to study at the University of Auckland for its international outlook. I really liked the idea of studying at a university that had a global mindset and I was enthusiastic about the prospect of undertaking an overseas exchange while I was studying.

“If you’re keen to work in intelligence in the future, I would really recommend the MCTS. It’s opened many doors for me and without a doubt, it gave me the skills and experience I require to succeed in my current role.”

Eloise Sims is a recipient of the 360 International Exchange Award, Auckland Medical History Society Essay Prize and Sir Robert Jones Scholarship in History.

Doctoral scholarships and support fundingUniversity of Auckland Doctoral Scholarships are a generous postgraduate scholarship, paying fees and providing a stipend (living allowance) of $28,200* per annum for three years of full-time doctoral study, which may be extended by a further six months (on application).

Doctoral scholarships are awarded to both domestic and international students. There are no closing dates or extra application forms: when you apply, just tick the box to request assessment for the scholarship and we’ll do the rest. Scholarship offers are made alongside offers of places in doctoral programmes.

Under a New Zealand Government scheme, new international PhD students who reside in New Zealand during their doctoral study will pay the same annual tuition fees as New Zealand students (NZ$7,250.40; US$4,745.53** per annum in 2020). Including compulsory health insurance for international students (NZ$620, see pg. 50) and the Student Services fee (NZ$943.20) the total fee in 2020 was NZ$8,813.60 (US$5,767** per annum).

Employment during studyAdvanced postgraduate students are often employed as tutors, laboratory demonstrators or teaching assistants for undergraduate courses. Tutoring is a great way to gain valuable professional and teaching experience during your masters or PhD study.

Other opportunities include part-time research assisting, administrative duties or library work. There may be limits on allowable work hours (particularly for scholarship and international students), so you need to check any conditions that may apply. If you are working outside of the University to finance your study, it’s important that you discuss your work commitments with your department’s postgraduate adviser or your supervisor to ensure you can balance your workload realistically.

Enhancing your career potentialWhether you want to change careers, prepare yourself for a career in academia, develop your research portfolio or learn new skills, postgraduate study can help you stand out amongst your peers.

Postgraduate study can give you the edge in a crowded marketplace. It can also offer the opportunity to change careers, upskill or prepare for the next step in your career. Our graduates are highly sought after in New Zealand and around the world. This is reflected in our QS Stars five-star rating for employability, and our ranking as the 59th in the world in the 2020 QS Graduate Employability Rankings. This puts the University of Auckland No.1 in New Zealand and top five among Oceania universities, in recognition of the fact that our graduates are extremely likely to be employed and go on to change the world.

The value that employers place on postgraduate study is reflected in the levels of remuneration and employment that those with a postgraduate qualification enjoy. According to a Ministry of Education report on post-study earnings, employment rates increase with the level of qualification gained and people with postgraduate qualifications command high earnings, with many earning twice the national median.**Young, domestic graduate outcomes – earnings. Ministry of Education, 2017.

*QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2020

Doctoral Academic Leadership InitiativeThe Doctoral Academic Leadership Initiative (DALI) prepares mid-phase doctoral students for life in academia, focusing on academic leadership, research and teaching. Applications open in October each year. DALI is hosted by the School of Graduate Studies.

www.auckland.ac.nz/dali

“Postgraduate study has helped develop and define my skill set, clarify my creative focus and will provide me with an internationally-recognised qualification that is held in esteem by institutions around the world.”

“I was awarded a Summer Research Scholarship to study methods of integrating musical textures into virtual reality environments. This foundational research was hugely inspiring to me and led directly into the pursuit of further study.”

“My research in this area opened my eyes to an ever-expanding array of creative possibilities and research avenues offered by this technology. One of my studies on musical interactivity in virtual reality was accepted into the International Computer Music Conference 2017, and this opportunity saw me travelling to Daegu, South Korea to present my work as a five-day virtual reality installation.

“As an aspiring composer, I was drawn to the teaching staff at the University of Auckland. The composition department features perhaps the most diverse collective of internationally-recognised composers and lecturers in the country. The level of support offered by the department allowed me to progress further and achieve more than I ever could have without their expertise and enthusiasm.

“When I travel overseas to conferences or music festivals, my alma mater is always a conversation starter. So many students from the University of Auckland have gone on to make names for themselves as international composers and as teachers at other world-class universities.

“I decided to pursue postgraduate studies when it became clear to me that I had only begun to scratch the surface of my area of interest – my research focus had become my passion and I wasn’t ready to give it up. I hope this qualification will lead me further into a career in academia and freelance composition.”

Clovis McEvoy, Master of Music student, is a recipient of the University of Auckland’s Summer Research Scholarship and Masters Guaranteed Scholarship.

“I am fortunate that my years at the University of Auckland have provided me with opportunities and experiences that I will carry with me for life.”

Xavier is a Master of Science in Geography graduate. He works as a Poukokiri Rangahau Māori (Senior Librarian, Māori Research) at Auckland Council.

“My postgraduate interests came about in my third year of undergraduate study, helped greatly by having enthusiastic lecturers. I think some of their energy rubbed off on me.

“The people I encountered and the opportunities that came out of that are the main highlights from my time studying. Meeting people and learning about their interests enriched my time at university.

“I am a research librarian specialising in Māori subject matter. My interests span history, to arts and crafts, to whakapapa research. I help people with reference enquiries in these areas, as well as undertake my own research.

“The ability to get on with people from various backgrounds has been valuable and has carried me on to my current job. Research work, collecting and analysing information, and looking at different perspectives are also skills that I have developed and am still developing.”

Xavier Forsman (Te Rarawa) is a recipient of the School of Environment Māori Masters Thesis Scholarship.
