Wintec Waikato Institute of Technology

Bachelor of Contemporary Art

This degree is for those who want to engage in the art, including painting, photography, screen-based media, installation, street art, sculpture, curation, or illustration. Students will study in a community where individual vision and personality are valued as contributing to our society.

Students will develop and gain a deep understanding of creativity in art and use this to respond to situations that demand combinations of ideas, technologies, and techniques that result in new forms of knowledge and making. Such knowledge is power in the careers that will sustain and transform our world. With 24-hour access to studios and workshops, students will have the opportunity to develop their own personal art practice and undertake real-world projects both with students from other disciplines and with industry.
