Postgraduate Diploma in Maori Visual Arts
The Postgraduate Diploma in M?ori Visual Arts is a course for students who already possess a qualification in M?ori Art or who can demonstrate equivalent qualifications. It is a stepping stone to the Master of M?ori Visual Arts. Most aspiring Masters students first enroll in the postgraduate diploma, then transfer to the Masters after a year if they achieve the required grade (B average or above)
Flexible study
You can study on campus, with studio space provided, or by distance. Full-time and part-time options are available, so you can fit study around work and wh?nau commitments.
Why postgraduate study?
Postgraduate study is not just ‘more of the same’ undergraduate study. You will find you have to be more self-directed, especially in planning your time. You will develop a deeper understanding of how to express M?ori or indigenous visual culture.
