History
The Stout Research Centre adds to the University's unique strength in research on New Zealand's history.

Stout Research Centre historians also co-supervise postgraduate students in a range of other programmes including science, creative writing, English, Anthropology and Māori Studies.

Find out how New Zealanders understand their identity—looking at themes that span New Zealand's literary, oral and written histories. Offered as a postgraduate subject to students doing a Master of Arts or PhD, you’ll complete a thesis on the topic of your choice, that might range from Crown-Māori relations in a certain period, to the development of policing, to a micro-history of a specific event.
