Explore creative arts and contribute to a future where te ao Māori leads Aotearoa's creative industries. As a pioneering offering in Aotearoa's tertiary education, the Mātauranga Toi Māori major integrates te ao Māori into Fine Arts studies. This major allows you to root your artistic practice in mātauranga Māori, providing an alternative to other Fine Arts courses. You'll gain the knowledge, skills, values, and perspectives needed to unlock the potential of Mātauranga Toi Māori in the creative arts field. This newly introduced major combines various learning methods including wānanga, noho marae, studio sessions, and online instruction. Te Rau Karamu Marae will serve as your home base, where you'll be enriched by artistic work, ancestral narratives, prayers, songs, and hospitality. These courses will inspire and prepare you to emerge as an indigenous creative professional.

Qualification Requirements
You must first be enrolled in the Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours to select the Mātauranga Toi Māori major.
To enter the BFA(Hons) you will:
submit a portfolio (if you do well in NCEA Level 2 art, design or technology – or equivalent - you may not need to submit a portfolio. See details below.)
attend an interview in person or over Zoom.
Portfolio requirements
Automatic entry: If you achieved NCEA Level 2 or 3 with Merit or Excellence overall and a Merit or Excellence endorsement in an approved art, design or technology subject, you have automatic entry and will not have to submit a portfolio. This also applies for Cambridge International students achieving an AS grade A or B in an approved art, design or technology subject.
Portfolio pre-approval entry: You can show work in progress to a Massey College of Creative Arts staff member during a school visit, Massey Open Day or other University event, or video call. They’ll look at examples of your work with you and if it shows the creative potential we’re looking for, they’ll sign a portfolio pre-approval letter. Then you won’t need to submit a final portfolio with your application.
Portfolio entry: Submit a portfolio showing a selection of your creative work that demonstrates your creative potential with your application to study.
Late applications will be considered if space is available.
