    The programme is delivered through taught courses that encourage you to discover your chosen fields of research.

    An introduction to postgraduate study in dance, helping you establish your research skills and professional portfolio.

    You will investigate choreographic practice, dance education practice and the role of dance in wellness contexts, dance and cultural diversity. You'll explore issues, philosophies and practices in depth, and be introduced to the diverse methods and ethics of academic research. Award-winning teachers and researchers will guide your research and foster your individual interests and career.

    Core courses: 90 points

    2023 entry requirements

    Programme requirements

    You must have completed a Bachelor of Dance Studies (BDanceSt) or Bachelor of Performing Arts (BPerfArts) at the University of Auckland within two years of starting the PGDipDanceSt.

    If your BDanceSt was completed more than two years prior to starting this honours programme, you must also submit a CV covering previous dance education, experience, and practice/employment.

    Alternatively, you must hold an undergraduate degree in dance studies or performing arts from a recognised university (or similar institution) and submit a CV covering your previous dance education, experience, and practice/employment.

    Further programme requirements

    English language requirements

    If you are an international applicant whose first language is not English you will need to provide evidence of your English proficiency.

    You will require an IELTS Academic score of 6.5 with no bands less than 6.0. See alternative English language requirements.

    Other pathways to study

    • If you have completed a bachelors degree from the University of Auckland, or an undergraduate degree from a recognised university (or similar institution), you may be considered based on your academic history and a CV covering your previous dance education and experience. We will assess your practice/employment to determine whether it is equivalent to the level of competence needed to attain an undergraduate degree in dance studies or performing arts. An interview may also be required, and we will confirm whether this is needed.
    • The University's Bachelor of Dance Studies (BDanceSt) degree is a suitable pathway into this programme. You may also be eligible to transfer credit towards your BDanceSt if you hold an undergraduate degree in a dance-related discipline.
    For all official programme information, including regulations about entry, enrolment, fees, examinations, and requirements for degrees, diplomas and certificates, see the University Calendar.
