Master of Community Dance

Graduates of the MCommDance programme will have in-depth knowledge of a selected field of community dance, and the mastery of methodologies appropriate to their chosen enquiry. They will have a high level of competency in discussing and making connections between various aspects of current practices and relevant historical, theoretical and cultural aspects related to their area of community dance research. It is intended that students will be equipped to pursue careers in a range of community dance and arts related professions as well as being prepared for doctoral level study.

Since its founding in 1883, the University of Auckland has grown to become New Zealand's flagship, research-led university, known for the excellence of its teaching, its research, and its service to local, national and international communities.

The university has more than 40,000 students of whom 11,000 are postgraduate and 6,000 are international. The University of Auckland's research programmes range across all disciplines and are world leaders in such fields as cancer drug development, inductive (wireless) power transfer and computational physiology.

As the university looks to the future one thing is certain - knowledge will be a key resource and will be highly sought-after within New Zealand and around the world. The university's challenge is to help to generate ideas that will benefit society, and to educate and train people to work in fields where they will be valued both for their specialised knowledge, and for their ability to research, communicate and solve problems.
