Every year UCOL students successfully participate in the National Woodskills Competition in conjunction with Kawerau Woodfest. It's an opportunity for our students to showcase their creative skills and to see what other furniture designers are doing around the country.

 

New Zealand Diploma in Creativity (Furniture Design) (Level 5)

 

UCOL's furniture design offering is unique to New Zealand and offers students a practical, hands-on experience with lecturers who are qualified furniture makers. 

 

In addition to the Domestic Entry Requirements, the following applies to international student applicants.
