Many of NMIT's academic staff are involved in conducting research. Most of the research at NMIT is focused on our degree and diploma programme areas.

Key areas of research at NMIT include: Aquaculture, Arts & Media, Business, Education, Environmental Ecology, Health & Fitness, Social Sciences, Technology, Tourism, Viticulture & Wine.  

“Research is a key component that provides context for our ākonga, drives many aspects of our teaching and learning programmes, and connects us to industry.”

Dr Velma Vermaat | Team Lead Research and Research Support Coordinator

Celebrating research

In October 2025 the Research Office hosted their annual NMIT Celebrating Research hui, where staff presented work in progress, or trialed their presentation prior to attending a conference.  BSW programme kaiako presented our emerging research project on mate wareware (dementia) and the care and support of whānau and family carers.
