Begin to build the skills and degree-level portfolio you need to apply for our Bachelor of Visual Arts or Bachelor of Design (Product), or to prepare for junior level roles in the creative industries.
聽A negotiated pathway towards the Bachelor of Architectural Studies may also be possible. Please email us to learn more about this option.
Across a series of hands-on projects, you鈥檒l build your creative skills and identify your strengths and the areas that you most enjoy. Courses will include jewellery, textiles, and product design, and you鈥檒l enjoy working in our purpose-built studios.
Whilst this programme can be used as a pathway into our other design degrees, the preferred pathway for the Bachelor of Design (Fashion) is the New Zealand Certificate in Fashion (Level 4), and for the Bachelor of Design (Communication), it鈥檚 the New Zealand Certificate in Digital Media and Design (Level 4).
This programme is a great option for learners who complete the six-month New Zealand Certificate in Arts and Design (Level 4) which begins in February and wish to pursue further creative study in art and design starting in July.
