AUT UNIVERSITY
Region: Upper North Island
New Zealand's dance scene is evolving and diversifying, yet it's also one that's continually searching for people who can meet its requirements. AUT's Bachelor of Dance is 'dance with difference' – the papers,
the students and their career objectives are diverse, and the staff make the degree work for the individual student's interests. This degree is a foot in the door, both nationally and internationally, as students gain career experience while studying. The staff live and breathe dance and have international backgrounds. It is a vibrant environment for dance students, in which they can engage in research processes
and be part of a large health faculty, in the School of Sport and Recreation. DANZ PRINCIPAL SUPPORTER
