MA4379 Bachelor of Design and Arts, Level 7Aims
Primarily this degree aims to provide an educational and vocational pathway for students to pursue
the knowledge, skills and attributes identified as those that support creativity and innovation in the
development of professional practice aligned with the 21st century design and arts environment
Consultation with relevant stakeholders established that a qualification of this nature is attractive to
school leavers, current students in related undergraduate programmes, professionals employed in
associated disciplines and potential employers. Recommendations arising from consultation underpin
the following articulation of the degree’s purpose and aims.
The learner group, identified through consultation during the development of this qualification, is
people interested in pursuing an exciting and challenging study pathway in order to develop the
personal attributes and the skills required to make a contribution to design and arts related industries.
Undergraduate students are keen to follow an educational pathway that supports their passion for
creative expression, advances their career aspirations, adds mana to their curriculum vitae, builds
their confidence and results in a portfolio of work that they are proud to exhibit or present in a range
of design and arts related contexts.
The Whanganui region is known for its creativity. This location exhibits a unique point of difference
from other regional parts of New Zealand and the world. Strong Iwi connections are an outstanding
feature of the environment. Therefore, a primary objective of this degree is to ensure that design and
arts education remains meaningfully local and that local course content addresses tikanga within the
context of the teaching and learning environment. This objective is guided and monitored by the
Whanganui School of Design, Iwi Partnership Group (IPG) who support the delivery of Tikanga Maori
through the identification of appropriate members of Iwi to deliver specialist cultural content.
The content, structure and delivery of the degree are intended to provide students with the chance
to work in a similar environment to that of a professional artist or designer while building theoretical
and contextual knowledge. The degree is constructed around studio-based work where students
specialise in their own area of interest. The studio work is intended to result in the students
themselves becoming increasingly inventive, skillful and knowledgeable as they explore the critical
foundations of design and arts both in a general sense and relative to their chosen specialisation.
The lecturers are practicing artists, designers, educators and researchers who are able to tap into
student creativity. Their commitment to student learning, combined with the content and structure
of the degree, reflects an important aim of the programme which is to promote inspiration, creativity
and innovation. Importantly, faculty members are committed to offering individualised instruction,
academic direction and mentoring.
The development of critical evaluative skills and visual communication abilities are an intended
outcome of this qualification. Towards this end, the allocation of studio practice hours and relevant
assessment methods mean that students get many opportunities to discuss and critique their own
work (and that of others) with their lecturers and peers. Local artists, exhibitors, designers and
curators complement these processes by taking part in studio-related critique and working with
students to give an external perspective. The examining and judging mode in the learning environment
aims to emphasise critical thinking relative to design and arts to strongly encourage work that
examines and re-imagines context, material form and conceptual approach.
‘Hands on making’ experiences are an integral aspect of the degree. These opportunities are provided
for the students through applied learning sessions in UCOL studios and they are reinforced by an
Faculty of Humanities and Business – Student Handbook 2020 Page 15 of 30
MA4379 Bachelor of Design and Arts, Level 7internship in the third year. In this way, the programme seeks to ensure students develop a keen sense
of their target market or audience and to consider how they will reach, or even create, that market or
audience. It is intended to facilitate the exposure of student work to a broader market or audience,
whether that is to prospective employers, the art and design community, and industry stakeholders
or to museums, galleries, or other public venues, specific to the particular project.
Ultimately, the aim of the programme is to broaden the visual, intellectual and aesthetic abilities of
students in the pursuit of their passion and their careers. The Bachelor of Design and Arts (with a
major in Design Media, Visual Arts or Textiles/Fashion Design) intends to offer UCOL students
productive studio facilities; close working relationships with faculty, local artists, designers and
stakeholders; and a curriculum that emphasises the artistic richness of Whanganui’s broader creative
and cultural community.
Graduation Requirements

will be awarded to students who successfully complete all 165 core credits, 165 compulsory credits in

MA4379 Bachelor of Design and Arts, Level 7Programme Assessment
Grading Systems and Assessment Methodology
The achievement-based assessment used in this programme provides a system to measure student
performance against specific knowledge, behaviour and skills-based criteria considered essential for
design and arts without limiting the range of work produced.
Assessment may be used for both formative and summative purposes. Students are introduced to the
assessment methodology during the programme orientation. The Student Handbook for the
programme contains detailed information regarding assessment requirements.
Underpinning assessment practices in this programme is the core belief that assessment should not
only assess the level of achievement but should also provide on-going feedback that informs practice
and improves performance. Both formative and summative assessment may be used during each
course.
Assessment in the Bachelor of Design and Arts, (with a major in Design Media, Visual Arts or
Textiles/Fashion Design), Level 7 is achievement-based.
All summative assessment schedules and details will be provided to students within 14 days of
programme commencement. Formative assessment is used throughout the programme to monitor
students’ progress and as a basis for feedback to students on their progress.
The grading scale used in this degree is:
A (+/-) Pass
B (+/-) Pass
C (+/ ) Pass
D Fail
E Fail
F Ungraded Fail (no assessment undertaken)
DNC Did not complete both all compulsory assessments for a course and CAR
(grade) (AEG) Aegrotat Pass
CR Specified or Unspecified or Cross Credit
W Withdrawn
R Restricted Pass
CO Conceded Pass
CP Conditional Pass
The following percentages for each grade shall be used:
A+ 85 – 100
A 80 – 84
A- 75 – 79
B+ 70 – 74
B 65 – 69
B- 60 – 64
C+ 55 – 59
C 50 – 54
D 40 – 49
E 0– 39
F Ungraded Fail (no assessment undertaken)
Faculty of Humanities and Business – Student Handbook 2020 Page 21 of 30
MA4379 Bachelor of Design and Arts, Level 7Te Reo Māori
UCOL acknowledges the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi and endorses the right of its students to
use Te Reo Māori in assessments. If you are fluent in Te Reo and wish to be assessed in it, you should
inform your lecturers of this at the beginning of the programme. See Assessment in Te Reo Māori
Procedure.
Schedule of Assessment
A schedule of assessments will be provided to you in your first class or is available from your Lecturer
in the form of a course outline.
Conduct During Assessments
During your study, you are expected to observe and comply with the Academic Statute and all
programme regulations. Plagiarism or cheating is not tolerated. Academic dishonesty includes:
Copying from or inappropriate communicating with another person during an exam or
assessment
Possessing any unauthorised material during an exam or assessment
Submitting any work for assessment that is not your own and whose author has not been
acknowledged
Copying another’s work
Collaborating with others in the preparation of material, except where this is an assessment
requirement
Resubmitting work without prior written approval of the lecturer
Turnitin, or a similar programme, may be used to determine whether you have committed academic
dishonesty. See Conduct of Examinations and Assessments Procedure.
Part VIII of the Academic Statute outlines the disciplinary proceedings that apply should you breach
these rules.
Extensions
Extensions for an assessment can only be granted prior to the assessment due date in exceptional
circumstances. These circumstances may include:
Sickness – in which case a medical certificate must be presented to the lecturer.
Bereavement – in which case the lecturer must be informed as soon as possible.
Extenuating circumstances – these circumstances must be explained to the lecturer and proof
may be required.
An application for an extension must be submitted to your lecturer in writing using the Appendix 2 –
Request for Extension form at the back of this handbook. It can also be made in electronic form via
email which must include all the information required by the form.
You will receive notification of the outcome once your lecturer has reached a decision. Extensions will
be for seven (7) days only unless stated otherwise.
Faculty of Humanities and Business – Student Handbook 2020 Page 22 of 30
MA4379 Bachelor of Design and Arts, Level 7Where an extension has been granted, and the extension deadline has been met, no penalties will
apply. Your assessment will be marked and feedback provided in the same way as if the assessment
was submitted on the original date and time.
Penalties for Late Submissions
The following conditions apply to all late submissions of assessments that do not have an approved
extension:
All assessment work received after the due date and time, and not subject to a lecturer-
approved extension, will attract a penalty.
The penalty for late submission is the deduction of 10% of the mark achieved for each day
beyond the due date for submission.
The penalty is applied for a maximum of five (5) days.
An assessment received after one week from the due date for submission will be returned
unmarked and a zero (0) grade will be entered.
No late submissions may be accepted after marked assessments have been returned to
students, unless it can be determined that there will be no advantage to the student
submitting the late assessment or disadvantage to students who have submitted the work on
time.
Reconsideration of Results
If you believe that your assessment has been incorrectly assessed, you can apply to your lecturer for
a reconsideration of result within five (5) days of the return of the assessment. You must apply in
writing using the Appendix 3 – Request for Reconsideration of Result form at the back of this
handbook. You may be charged a fee for this process.
Your result may be unchanged, raised or lowered following reconsideration. The reconsidered result
will be recorded as the final result. However, you still have the right to appeal this result in accordance
with the Academic Statute.
Resubmits and Resits
An application for a resubmit or resit must be submitted to your lecturer in writing using the Appendix
4 – Request for Resubmit/Resit form at the back of this handbook. It can also be made in electronic
form via email which must include all the information required by the form. You may be charged a
fee for this process.
Special Passes
If through illness, accident, bereavement or other exceptional circumstances beyond your control, you
are unable to complete an assessment or programme, you can apply for a Special Pass.
The four types of Special Passes are:
Aegrotat Pass: awarded when you are unable to present work for assessment at the time it is
due, you are unable to attend a test or examination, or your performance is seriously impaired
in a test or examination.
Faculty of Humanities and Business – Student Handbook 2020 Page 23 of 30
MA4379 Bachelor of Design and Arts, Level 7 Conceded Pass: awarded when you have otherwise reached an acceptable standard in the
programme but have narrowly failed one course, thus affecting your ability to complete the
qualification.
Conditional Pass: awarded when you have marginally failed to meet the required academic
standard but in all other aspects have demonstrated an ability to meet it.
Restricted Pass: awarded when you have marginally failed to meet the required academic
standard for the course and, if awarded, does not qualify you to enrol in a subsequent
course/programme for which a pass in the original course is a pre-requisite.
If you are interested in requesting a Special Pass, contact your lecturer. Programme curriculum
regulations and other conditions may apply.
Academic Appeals
The academic appeals process is outlined in Part IX of the Academic Statute.
Inability to Meet Programme Requirements
Under certain circumstances, an individual study contract may be drawn up to encourage you to meet
programme requirements. Any failure to meet this contract may result in you being asked to leave
the programme.
If you have a serious health problem or other personal circumstances that impact on your ability to
meet programme requirements, please inform your Lecturer.
Remember, if you are having difficulties with your programme there are ways UCOL can help you. If
you do decide to withdraw, you must complete a Change of Details/Circumstances Form. These can
be obtained from the Information Centre.
