Bachelor of Screen Arts with Honours (Immersive Media)

You'll develop a substantial piece of work, bringing all of your specialist knowledge and professional skills together and expressing your unique voice. For those wanting to go even further, the fourth year of study with us can also be a fast-track into our Master's degree. With an emphasis on production, you’ll take advanced projects through the development of initial concepts and narratives to a completed and distributable work. You’ll respond to briefs that combine creative studio practice, storytelling, professional practice and portfolio development, using industry-standard production facilities, studios and labs. In addition to practicing advanced production skills on cutting edge technology, you’ll learn about the media business and the creative economy, and how to evaluate and develop ideas for the marketplace. In your final year, you have the option of doing an industry internship, connecting you to Aotearoa’s creative ecosphere and reflecting on where your skills best fit. You’ll also work extensively on a year-long creative project, either as sole practitioner or part of a like-minded team. The emphasis is on building a showreel, vertical slice, or short film that you can use as a calling card to the creative industry.
