Bachelor of Screen Arts with Honours

BSA(Hons)*

Future-focused, this degree emphasises originality, innovation and critical thought, and is led by practising academics and industry experts.

The BSA(Hons) aims to give you the skills and creativity to realise your vision across a wide range of screen-based specialisations. This new four-year Honours qualification also has an exit point at third year for students who wish to graduate with a Bachelor of Screen Arts. With an emphasis on production, you’ll take projects through development of initial concepts and narratives to a completed and distributable work. Using industry-standard production facilities, studios and labs, you’ll respond to briefs that combine creative studio practice, storytelling, professional practice and portfolio development.

You will be supported by a series of core Professional Culture courses designed to help you to develop your professional skills. Through these courses you will gain an understanding of screen cultures, economies and working practices, both in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally as well as prepare yourself to compete in one of the most exciting sectors in the creative industries.

The Bachelor of Screen Arts with Honours develops on the Bachelor of Creative Media Production and offers the addition of a fourth year Honours, along with multiple exit points throughout the degree so you can engage with your studies at a pace that suits you best.
