EIT Offering Creative Career Pathways

September 11, 2018

Student Emma Bergman

While first-year EIT student Emma Bergman expects to specialise in photography and graphic design, she is also welcoming the opportunities to work with other media at ideaschool.

Emma is currently studying portraiture and exploring issues of identity through photography, graphic design and typography.  She is also looking forward to exploring other media at ideaschool.

She is able to do that because EIT’s Bachelor of Creative Practice is a collaborative multi-disciplinary programme where students can explore various artistic avenues. 

A new structure developed for ideaschool’s diverse programmes provides for more entrance and exit points, giving ideaschool students even more choice in shaping up a creative career.

Last year’s runner-up dux at Napier’s Sacred Heart College, Emma was offered “scary” conflicting advice about where she might study for her degree. 

“As soon as I came here,” she now says of studying on EIT’s Hawke’s Bay campus, “I felt this is the place.”

Once she completes her degree, she intends studying for a graduate diploma in secondary school teaching and to work as a high school art teacher.

Should she choose to further her visual arts and design studies, she is able to progress to ideachool’s Bachelor (Honours) of Creative Practice and the Master of Professional Creative Practice.
