This postgraduate diploma combines independent studio work with Māori studies or museum studies. You'll primarily focus on creating art. Experienced artists with over a decade of exhibition history may qualify for a studio-only program—contact us to discuss your eligibility. The Māori Visual Arts program supports both traditional and modern artistic expressions, including carving, weaving, kowhaiwhai patterns, and contemporary art. Toioho ki Āpiti graduates frequently explore themes of identity and visual culture, blending Western and indigenous artistic traditions. Choose between on-campus study with provided studio space or distance learning, with flexible full-time or part-time schedules to accommodate professional and family responsibilities.
