The School of Art
Whiti o Rehua
Whiti o Rehua School of Art offers exciting pathways into contemporary art within Aotearoa New Zealand across a wide range of media and processes, via mātauranga Māori, and visual and material cultures.
The School’s faculty is comprised of leading practitioners, researchers, international practising artists, curators, art writers and critics.
They are supported by expert technicians and facilities that allow our students to expand their art practice and explore new media, including sculpture, painting, drawing, performance, installation, moving image, photography, printmaking, site-responsive work, curatorial activities and art writing.
In 2015 Toioho Ki Āpiti Māori Visual Arts programmes, taught on the Manawatū campus, joined the suite of programmes offered by the College of Creative Arts. Toioho Ki Āpiti continues to make a significant contribution to the landscape of contemporary Māori art in Aotearoa and internationally.
Fine Art graduates are inventive, creative, dedicated, resilient thinkers and makers. They want to change the world through their work, whether through establishing themselves as practicing artists, starting their own businesses, or working with others in connected industries—museums and galleries, education, film and television, libraries and archives, and more.

Master of Fine Arts
Master of Fine Arts in Design
The programme is focused on a transdisciplinary creative-practice-led research inquiry.
The MFA supports the development of creative practices that engage experimentation, iteration, risk, curiosity and innovation in relation to culture, politics, materials, histories, technologies, place, experience and media.
Master of Māori Visual Arts
The Master of Māori Visual Arts will push you to produce your best creative work grounded in a deep understanding of Māori or indigenous visual culture. Your supervisors will challenge, guide, disrupt and support you, but — most importantly — they will help you develop your own unique creative practice.
Te Rewa o Puanga
Te Rewa O Puanga was established in 2015 to address the expansion of New Zealand’s international reputation for innovation and creativity in music and media production. The college now has a state of the art multi-million dollar facility that is the only one of its kind in Australasia. It features recording, rehearsal and live performance studios, production and post-production facilities including a dubbing theatre, music and creative technology labs, and a motion performance capture studio.
The success of these programmes led to the development of the new four-year Bachelor of Screen Arts with Honours, which replaced the Bachelor of Creative Media Production starting in 2023.
Our Commercial Music programme is the only degree in New Zealand designed specifically to address the creation, production, promotion and distribution of tomorrow’s music.
It has three majors: Music Practice (contemporary, composition and performance), Music Technology (software development, electronic hardware development, and live and studio engineering) and Music Industry (promotion and marketing, copyright, management and distribution etc.)
Our Screen Arts programme offers seven distinct pathways: immersive media, film, factual, animation, game, media technology and visual effects.
The programme focuses on connecting students with emerging technologies and creative practice relevant to social, economic and cultural enterprise.
Both degrees are taught by experienced academics, technical staff and visiting artists, producers and entrepreneurs. The programmes focus on connecting students with emerging technologies and creative practice relevant to social, economic and cultural enterprise.
