GLOBAL CONTEMPORARY LEARNING
academyEX is New Zealand's only private postgraduate institute. We make learning a normal part of adult life, with small cohorts, ideas you can use straight away, and a lasting community.
You bring years of experience with you. Study makes space for it in a life that's already full, and shows you how far it can take you.
Bring the things you're already wrestling with into the room. Across our community, people are using their study to test ideas, solve problems and make changes in their work, organisations and communities.
You've already built the experience. Study gives you the space to build on it. Our students bring years of work and leadership into the room, and leave with more confidence in what they can take on.
You'll be learning alongside people who are still curious, still changing, still figuring things out, and that shifts how you think about where your own work could go.
Master of Technological Futures
Starts 25 February 2027. Understand the technology shaping your world. Then shape it back. This course equips senior leaders who need to make real decisions in a world that's changing faster than the briefings.
Master of Change and Organisational Resilience
Starts 25 February 2027. Lead your organisation through disruption without losing what matters. Change is constant. Resilience isn't about bouncing back, it's about building organisations that can move forward without losing coherence, culture, or purpose. This course is for the leaders already in the middle of it.
Master of Contemporary Education
Part 2 starts 18 Jan 2027 and part 1 starts 22 March 2027. Designed for educators, leaders and learning designers who want to rethink what learning can be, alongside people who care about it too. You’ll learn with a supportive community, share ideas, test your thinking and build the confidence to make meaningful change, without feeling like you have to figure it all out on your own.
Digital & Collaborative Learning
Starts 22 March 2027. You can take this dynamic post graduate certificate as a stand alone qualification - or use it as part one of your Master of Contemporary Education. As social and technological changes accelerate, educators must continually update their skills to keep pace. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming education by challenging traditional assessments and prompting a reevaluation of educational purposes. To navigate these changes, both teachers and learners need to develop new skills and critical perspectives.
I originally only enrolled for the DCL. I wanted to see if I could balance study with work and whānau. It's been a positive experience with the academyEX team every step of the way.

I took the leap - MCOR gave me the confidence to work for myself, doing what I do best. It’s been a total life-changer.
