Hone your collaborative, creative and business skills as a practising artist over an intensive 12-month programme. Victoria’s Master of Fine Arts (Creative Practice) is an industry-focused, practical degree that will help you build new contacts and networks in Wellington’s creative industries. You'll take advantage of our capital city location and study at Victoria’s Kelburn campus—plus our film and music programmes get to use a new purpose-refitted facility at the Miramar Creative Centre. Take your skills to an expert level—hone your theatrical craft and learn about working in the professional world of the theatre. You’ll graduate with the skills and confidence to get a job in the industry or to create your own company. Internships Take advantage of opportunities to build valuable contacts. As an MFA (CP) student you’ll get hands-on experience as an intern in the Wellington performing arts industry. Your internship might take you to a job as an assistant director, or on a behind-the-scenes journey through creating a musical.

The MFA (CP) includes a creative project in which you'll be mentored to complete work that showcases your abilities and encourages you to push boundaries in your field. As part of the programme you'll also do an internship with an arts organisation. This will give you valuable work experience and provide you with all-important connections in your industry.
