Master of Professional Creative Practice

Delivery of the Master of Professional Creative Practice | Te Hono ki Toi (Poutiriao) is “blended” – that is, it is a combination of online study, wānanga and research by creative practice. You may be “based” at either IDEAschool in Hawke’s Bay or Toihoukura in Tairāwhiti but will have opportunities to engage with staff and students based at both schools and students who may be practicing throughout Aotearoa and indeed the world.

The Master of Professional Creative Practice (MPCP) is a 180 credit programme with full-time study for one and a half years at Level 9, consisting of four compulsory courses that provides you with the opportunity to create a body of creative work to a standard that develops, extends and refines prior professional practices, processes and knowledge. This will be done through research and critical evaluation to strengthen your creative practice while contextualizing your practice in relation to relevant communities, contemporary concepts, models theory, technologies and professional practice management techniques.
