Our upcoming Open Day is Saturday 27th August, 2022!

Come and meet our friendly faculty, explore our studio-like learning environment, tinker with our state-of-the-art tech, and see for yourself why Media Design School is New Zealand’s most awarded tertiary provider of creative and digital technology qualifications.

Bring along your portfolio (on a USB or device) and our team will provide a review, to let you know if you're ready to apply or give you advice if there is anything you need to add.
