About the course
What can I expect out of this qualification?
The aim of the Postgraduate Diploma in Creative Practice is to develop and apply advanced
knowledge of theories and worldviews, including Te Ao Māori, related to a domain of research and
creative practice.
The programme aims to prepare students for independent practice-based research knowledge
within a domain of practice, that extends the skills developed by a student's undergraduate study
or acquired through professional practice.
This programme is intended for graduates from Ara or other institutions and current practitioners
with a track record of independent creative practice outside of tertiary study. These may include
musicians, dramatists, performing and visual artists, designers, film makers, writers, directors or
any others engaged in creative pursuits.
