Start your career in the creative industries
Do you want to turn your creative passion and talent into a successful career? The Bachelor of Creative Practice has you covered.
It is New Zealand’s first project-based creative degree which sets you up for a job in the creative industries or almost any other vocation. Engaged in real-life and on-campus projects, you can explore a range of creative disciplines such as design, fashion, music, screen production or visual art. Throughout the programme you will specialise in your preferred creative area while also developing broader skills by enabling you to experience artistic disciplines. The degree is a well-rounded qualification that gives you transferable skills to boost your job prospects and help you stand out from the crowd.
You can kick off the degree by studying one of IDEAschool’s diplomas (Level 5 Diploma in Fashion, Arts and Design, Music or Screen Production) and then progress to Levels 6 and 7 of the degree.
The programme will teach you a wide range of technical skills that are essential to successful practice in the creative industries today. You will learn software as well as traditional methods of creating Design, Fashion, Music, Screen Production and Visual Art. You will be challenged to develop your powers of creative thinking and idea generation. These, together with developing mastery of media techniques, will enable you to make work that is both professional and personally satisfying. In the second and third years of the degree you will drive your creative direction with increasing independence.
As a graduate of the BCP you will be able to:
Apply specialised skills and learned principles to generate creative and workable concepts and works based on an understanding of contemporary and historic contexts and on research by creative practice.
Synthesise and resolve ideas and solve problems in a selected creative discipline by utilising investigative tools with creative processes, methods and technologies.
Critically analyse research to support and enhance the development of ideas and to position your own work within the conventions of the creative arts and within contemporary Aotearoa and global contexts.
Apply leadership, professional practice and collaboration skills in working both individually and collaboratively in multi-cultural and/or multidisciplinary teams to manage and implement projects/briefs.
Create works that are relevant to and reflect a stance in relation to cultural, ethical, political, social, economic and environmental factors.
Maintain professional currency by engaging in continuing inquiry, self-education and experimentation to sustain your creative skills and manage your creative practice.
