The academic entry requirement for the BCP is either:

University Entrance, as defined by the NZQA; or
Evidence regarded as sufficient by the Discipline Leader of the capability to undertake and complete the programme of study; or
At the discretion of EIT, where the applicant is over 20 years of age and demonstrates the capability to undertake and complete the programme of study.
An offer of a place on the programme will be extended to applicants who meet the entry criteria and demonstrate the potential to successfully complete the programme on the basis of:

A hand-written letter of application
A portfolio of work that represents the applicant’s level of achievement
An interview
Evidence of ability to cope with the academic demands of the programme
Curriculum vitae
Applicants who submit a formal application to enrol on the programme including a handwritten letter, and who meet the entry criteria will be invited to submit a portfolio of work and attend an interview. Applicants are also encouraged to bring a workbook showing the creative process (e.g. drawings, designs, film/video etc) to the interview.

The purpose of the interview is to assess the applicants’ portfolio of work and suitability for the programme. The interview provides an opportunity for staff to confirm the authenticity of the applicant’s portfolio, and appraise and discuss work in considering the applicant’s suitability for admission. It will determine whether an applicant is offered a place on the programme, and if so, at what level of the programme the applicant will be offered a place. The interviewers will include two or more of the academic staff.

Please note: this process means that those applicants who do not successfully complete the selection process, even if they have achieved University entrance, may still not be offered a place on the degree. Instead, they may be offered a place on the diploma or certificate of visual art and design.
