 Māori culture is thus an integral part of NorthTec’s activities.This is reflected in part by the presence of the Te Puna o Te Matauranga Marae (Māori meeting house) complex on the Whangarei campus.International students from China, Japan, India, the USA, North Africa and other countries take advantage of the English language, hospitality, business, nursing and other quality courses on offer at NorthTec.
