Whaia te pae tawhiti kia tata whakamaua te pae tata kia tina
Reach for the distant horizons and hold fast to those that you attain.
Vision 20:20 is the
Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences' commitment to increasing the number of
Māori and Pacific health professionals to 10% of the health workforce by the year 2020.
Vision 20:20 has three components and is coordinated by Te Kupenga Hauora Māori.
Māori and Pacific Admission Scheme
The Māori and Pacific Admission Scheme (MAPAS) is available to students with indigenous Māori or Pacific whakapapa/ancestry.
MAPAS
provides both admission into and support during study in the Nursing,
Pharmacy, Medicine and Health Sciences programmes of the faculty. MAPAS seeks to provide
a supportive environment where students, whānau and staff accept a commitment
to academic achievement within a Māori/Pacific context.

Whakapiki Ake Project
The Whakapiki Ake Project (WAP) is a recruitment programme that actively
engages with rangatahi Māori enrolled in secondary schools to promote health as
a career and entry into the Certificate in Health Sciences programme as a
pathway into other faculty programmes.
WAP offers exposure to health career options, enrolment assistance and financial support with course fees for successful applications. Mature
students may also apply.
