▶ Use research to support the development of ideas and to inform own work within conventions and contexts in arts, craft and/or design.

▶ Critique own work and the work of others, communicate in a range of situations and present own resolved work in simulated contexts.

ENTRY CRITERIAAdmission to the NZDAD [Level 5] programme may be limited by the number of places available.

Academic Requirement A person is eligible to apply for entry who:

▶ University Entrance, as defined by the NZQA OR

▶ Evidence regarded as sufficient by the Head of School of the capability to undertake and complete the programme of study OR

▶ At the discretion of the Head of School, where the applicant is over 20 years of age and demonstrates the capability to undertake and complete the programme of study.

All applicants must also provide a hand-written letter of application and a portfolio of work that represents their level of achievement.

All applicants will be required to attend an interview (and may bring whānau support) and are encouraged to bring a workbook showing drawing and design process to the interview. The purpose of the interview is to confirm the authenticity of the applicant’s portfolio of work and to assess the portfolio of work and the applicant’s suitability for the programme. The interview will determine whether an applicant is offered a place on the programme and at what level of the programme the applicant is offered a place (see Level Placement below). Thus, meeting the academic entry requirement is not on its own sufficient to ensure admission to the programme.

The interviews will be conducted by two IDEAschool academic staff and in the case of cross credit or Level placement by the Programme Coordinator and a staff member.

Level Placement Through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Recognition of Prior Learning is the mechanism by which the programme ensures that students are placed at an appropriate level. On the basis of evidence provided at an interview and the presentation of an application portfolio, students may be granted RPL and be placed in Levels 6, or 7 of the programme. Students may be awarded credit for whole levels of the programme in this way.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ENTRY REQUIREMENTAll applicants must demonstrate an acceptable level of English language fluency prior to acceptance in the programme.

For international applicants, ways in which English language fluency may be demonstrated include the following:

▶ Successful study of a programme in which English was the language of instruction (subject to the conditions in EIT’s Database for English Language Proficiency (DELP))

▶ Completion of a New Zealand Certificate in English Language (Level 4 with any endorsement)

▶ IELTS Academic score of 6, with no band score lower than 5.5, achieved in a single test within the two years preceding enrolment

▶ Accepted international equivalents to the above IELTS scores, achieved in a single test within the two years preceding enrolment (see equivalency tables in the DELP)

ENTRY WITH CREDITFor information and enquiries about Recognition of Prior Learning and Cross Credit please contact Nigel Roberts, on 06 830 1155.

ASSESSMENTSFormative assessment can occur within projects to provide feedback to you about your progress and indicative grade. This formative assessment will typically be referred to as ‘green

lighting’, whereby you will be expected to meet a critical point in the project timeline before proceeding any further.

Where there is more than one summative assessment in a course, each summative assessment is allocated a percentage weighting and the weighted marks are used to derive the overall course percentage mark, which is reported as a grade using the achievement-based grading system specified in EIT’s Academic Regulatory Framework for Quality Assurance. Individual course descriptors will specify how each assessment is to be graded and how course results are to be recorded. The minimum passing grade for a course is 50%.

Assessment methods may take the form of creative outputs, design or drawing journals, essay writing, E-portfolio, presentations (for example). Some assignments will be individually assessed while others will be group work.

FACILITIESIDEAschool has comprehensive media workshops including 2D and 3D sculpture/design areas in clay/metal/wood, extensive press and silkscreen printing facilities, purpose built computer labs with laser and 3D printing, CAD controlled CNC, digital printer/cutter and intron outputs, fashion garment assembly workrooms, music recording, digital production and practice spaces, screen production set building spaces, green screen and digital post production labs.
