Master of Creative Enterprise

Admission to the Degree of Master of Creative Enterprise requires that the candidate will:

• meet the University admission requirements as specified; and
• have been awarded or qualified for a relevant bachelor's degree, with a grade average of at least a B in the highest level courses, or equivalent.

For general entry requirements see Massey University entry requirements.

If you have an Honours degree or postgraduate diploma in a relevant creative discipline, you may be able to start your study with the MCE Major Project directly, without completing the first semester of the programme.

Talk to the programme coordinator if you think that sounds like you.

If you do enrol directly in the Major Project you’ll need to submit a written research proposal along with a portfolio of creative works. The proposal should introduce your past and present creative work, and outline your potential project, addressing the following points:

• What is your creative practice, interests and intention?
• Examples of past work accompanied by a summary explaining what it is, your motivation (why), and how it was produced.
• Indicate the project you intend to develop in MCE, and the field or research area it falls within.
• Explain ‘why’: what is the Motivation/Need/Opportunity/Demand Drivers?
• Outline how are you going to develop your creative work, and how it could develop over a year?
• Enterprise - Indicate the target market where you intend to commercialise your work, and how you would commercialise your creative work?
• If applicable: a list of specialist equipment, software or facilities needed to complete the project.

Applications for the Master of Creative Enterprise are due January 2020, but you should apply early. Classes start from 24 February 2020.
