Career opportunities • L andscape architectural design leader, design educator or design researcher • A rchitect and others who wish to develop landscape architectural design capabilities.

Programme overview Are you currently practicing in the field of landscape architecture, architecture or design, or do you have a degree in landscape architecture? The Master of Landscape Architecture is a qualification for people who have practiced or studied in one of these areas and want to advance their skills, and explore an area of their interest. In this Master's by project, you’ll advance your knowledge of current design techniques, and learn to present your work effectively to interdisciplinary audiences.

The Master of Landscape Architecture offers landscape architects and graduates the chance to carve out a particular focus of investigation. It’s a ‘research through design’ programme created to contribute to the landscape design discipline as well as your own professional development.

The key outcome of this programme is a master level project that demonstrates your specialised skill and/or knowledge in your area of chosen expertise.

There are three possible pathways through the Master's, each with an emphasis on developing hands-on experience: • D evelop a research proposal focusing on a specific area that you’re passionate about • W ork with a member of our faculty to develop a collaborative research project • D evelop a research project with a leading Auckland landscape practice Highlights

• F ocus on practical projects: the degree is “by project”, which means that you undertake a project based on an aspect of your landscape architecture practice to date • No coursework • C ollaborative approach: the Master of Landscape Architecture together with the Master of Architecture, is part of a suite of design programmes at Unitec. Students in both programmes get together for seminars and workshops in order to foster collaboration, new ideas and new approaches to interdisciplinary practice • I nteraction and feedback with international academics and practitioners Seminars and workshops You don’t need to have a fully developed research project when you begin the programme as you’ll have 6 weeks in the programme to fine tune your research proposal.

You'll complete a seminar series that explores current design theory and practice, and helps you develop your research question and a draft research proposal. Then, present your draft project proposal at a workshop where you receive feedback from your colleagues, tutors and invited expert guests. If your proposal is confirmed, you embark on a series of workshops at which you present your work in progress for critique and evaluation by invited architects, landscape architects and designers.

These regular workshops aim to stimulate you to move beyond current models, trends and preconceptions. There will also be sessions offered throughout the year to discuss your project.

Talking with Teeks

Teeks grew up surrounded by music and performance. Raised with strong Kapa Haka influences, Teeks went on to form his own band at high school, before being selected to participate in the late Dr Hirini Melbourne’s development initiative, Pao Pao Pao, for emerging and establishing Māori artists. Teeks released his debut EP Grapefruit Skies last year, featuring the lead single ‘If Only’ (produced

by Jeremy Most). Teeks was the inaugural winner of the Best Māori Artist at last year's Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards.

Teeks talks about the influences that his Unitec experience has had on his life and career to date, and coming back to teach Te Reo Māori.

What course did you study at Unitec, and when?

A Diploma in Contemporary Music 2013 – 2014.

What interested you about studying at Unitec?

I had asked around my circle and Tama Waipara, who is a friend and mentor of mine, was actually lecturing a paper that was part of the course. He recommended Unitec as a good place to start and for me I wanted to study somewhere that was a lot more hands-on.

What was a key highlight of your time at Unitec?

For me it would have to be the people.

I made some strong friendships during my time at Unitec, particularly being part of Whai Ake i te ara tika which is the Māori Mentoring Scholarship. Coming from rural Northland, Auckland was a big culture shock for me and took some time getting used to. Programmes like Whai Ake or Unitec’s Mātātupu Māori Student Association are important especially for the benefit of feeling like you belong somewhere. The lecturers in my course were awesome and incredibly supportive 128 128

and they continue to show support even after I've left.

Did your time at Unitec help you establish industry connections that you were able to benefit from?

Yes, definitely. My lecturers were pretty much all part of the NZ music industry in their own way, and it was great to see them not only lecture in the classroom but do their own thing out in the world.

Samuel Holloway, Age Pryor and Chris O'Connor – who is actually one of the best drummers in the country. He played on a couple of the recordings on my EP. I understand you are also a Te Reo Māori teacher at Unitec. What led you to teach?

Has Te Reo Māori always played a role in your life?

Yes. The other good thing about Unitec is they offer good job opportunities for students while they study. During my time there as a student I was helping out as Tātai Hono (Kaiawhina) for the Kura Pō – Te Reo Māori evening short courses, and eventually was asked to come back and teach. Te Reo Māori was my first language and it has always played a huge part in my life. When people start to learn it they begin to realise that it isn't just a

language but also a worldview. I feel fortunate that I get to see the world through a Māori lens and it's very rewarding when I get to share that with people who want to learn.

What’s been the highlight of your musical career so far?

Probably releasing my EP last year and watching the response. I spent two years piecing it together and I'm proud of the outcome. I've been lucky to have been part of some amazing opportunities, and I think performing my song at the NZ Music Awards at the end of last year was a good way to wrap up 2017.

What’s on the agenda for this year?

Travel. I'm going to be travelling a lot this year mainly to work with writers and producers around the world. I'm going to start creating and piecing together my next body of work which I can't wait to dive into.

What would you like to be doing in 10 years’ time?

Singing. As long as I'm still singing and writing songs that's all I could ask for.

Nothing makes me happier and to be able to do it as a job is insane.

In your first two years you'll gain industry-standard experience and the technical skills needed for a foundational understanding of all areas of production.

Great lighting is more than just basic visibility. Learn how to consider angles, shadows, and colour, in relation to timing and performance. Lighting and Sound designers work closely with stage directors to integrate technology seamlessly into the performance. All are working towards a goal to create a shared experience between the audience and performers.

Our courses provide a great balance of studio and classroom instruction with considerable practical experience in theatres both on-campus and throughout Auckland.

Early childhood teachers work in kindergartens, kōhanga reo and education centres. They plan daily activities and learning experiences, and record each child’s learning and development. Study early childhood education at Unitec and you’ll soon see the positive impact you can have on children, their families and society too.

First you’ll get a thorough grounding in educational theory, child development and teaching techniques. You’ll also get a good understanding of te reo and tikanga Māori, and how to work with children and their families in Aotearoa New Zealand.

All of this will help you build the confidence to set foot in an early childhood centre where the experience of teaching itself is invaluable.

Back in the classroom, there’ll be lots of opportunities to reflect on what you’ve learnt with your teachers and classmates.

Study conservation and biodiversity management at Unitec and you’ll learn how to examine ecosystems and advise on the sustainable management of land.

You'll also develop an understanding of biosecurity and the impacts, management and risks of foreign species to a country. It’s great preparation for a rewarding career protecting our natural environment.

One of our biggest strengths is plant identification, a skill well regarded by the conservation industry. We’ll help you develop your knowledge and confidence with plant identification and you’ll also find out how social, cultural and policy decisions impact our natural environment, and the ways biodiversity managers can respond to this.

Government agencies and voluntary organisations have a big impact on biodiversity and you’ll see this for yourself during practical work placements at places like the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), Department of Conservation (DOC) and Auckland Council.

You’ll also have the chance to complete a research report in your own area of interest. All this, plus a teaching team of highly qualified and respected scientists and industry consultants to help you build the expertise you need to make a difference.

Love cars? Automotive training at Unitec can help you forge a career as a mechanic, automotive engineer or auto electrician.

And with more than four million registered vehicles in New Zealand, skilled professionals are always in hot demand.

As cars become more and more sophisticated, there’s lots of variety too. So now’s the perfect time to turn your passion into a bright future.

A career in automotive is hands-on, so most of your time will be spent in workshops and labs. You’ll pull apart engines, find faults and see how it all works. You’ll learn how to install automotive accessories, service engines, repair steering and suspension, and diagnose electronic problems.

There is also the opportunity to work in a local automotive company, which is a great chance to see how an automotive diagnostics and repair centre works.

Sometimes it leads to a job offer or an apprenticeship.

Are you an experienced professional looking to elevate your thinking, problem-solving and expertise?

The Applied Practice programmes are designed for experienced professionals wanting a postgraduate level programme that can be tailored to them. These programmes can lead you to become an agent of change, lead innovation, and/or transformation practice in your industry, community, workplace and in you.

This is why we’ve called it Applied (actual transformational outcomes) and Practice (impacts what you do).

These programmes are designed to support work integrated learning, and to enable interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary thinking, work and research. This is because by nature, practice based research is not siloed but encompasses the complexities that accompany the challenges of practice.

The International Baccalaureate admission criteria will not be explicitly stated for each programme. You may gain admission into Unitec programmes with a combination of grades from different qualifications.

International Baccalaureate equivalence to NCEA Level 3 If you have completed the International Baccalaureate, you will meet the general admission requirements for an undergraduate degree if you: •

Have a minimum total of 24 points in the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP); and

•

Meet the literacy requirements by having at least four points in an English-rich subject in the IBDP; and

•

Meet the numeracy requirements by having at least four points in maths in the IBDP or by meeting the necessary numeracy requirements by some other means.

Please be aware that some Unitec programmes have further programme-specific admission requirements. For more information about this, please refer to the admission requirements for the programme you’re interested in.
