Universities tailored to Acting (Theatre)

What are the recommendations for universities in New Zealand that are specifically aimed at those wanting to take acting professionally? Are there any lists of universities?

Hi Eloise,

Thank you for your question. There are various places in New Zealand where you can study in order to progress into a career in acting. The Actors Program, Unitec, Toi Whakaari and South Seas are amongst a few organisations that offer acting specific courses.

Another option for you, which may lead in to a career in acting is the option of studying Theatre or Drama. These subjects are common papers taken under a Bachelor of Arts Degree and are offered throughout New Zealand at any major tertiary institution.

I hope this is helpful with your query.

Kind Regards,
