For those passionate about creativity and interested in exploring theater, performance, creative writing, and digital media production while securing excellent career opportunities, the Bachelor of Communication (Expressive Arts) is an ideal choice. This distinctive program, the only one of its kind in New Zealand, was developed based on student feedback. Throughout your studies, you'll have the flexibility to engage in various creative pursuits, including theater production, directing, playwriting, crafting fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, children's literature, screenplays, or digital video production. Students expressed a desire for a balanced approach to theater, creative writing, and digital media rather than specializing in just one field. This led to the creation of our 'expressive arts' program. Think of it as a 'triple dip' major where you can customize your degree by combining elements from theater, creative writing, and digital media in any proportion you prefer. You decide which areas to focus on—whether it's one, two, or all three disciplines.
