WHY
WELLINGTON?
Known as New Zealand’s coolest little
CREATIVE CAPITAL WELLINGTON capital, Wellington is internationally
regarded as one of the most liveable
cities in the world, having been
ranked no.1 by Deutsche Bank for
two consecutive years, and named
New Zealand’s top destination by the
lonely planet guidebook (2018).
Wellington also has the highest skill and
salary base per capita in New Zealand,
and a reputation for being innovative and
collaborative in its business practice. The city
is compact, accessible, vibrant and home
to numerous sport, art and technology-based
industries. Surrounded by lush green hills and
a diverse coastline, there are many recreational
opportunities as well as a flourishing creative
culture to immerse yourself in. It’s also proud
of its very fine coffee and craft beer cultures,
not necessarily enjoyed at the same time!
WELLINGTON HARBOUR GOLDING’S FREEDIVE BAR Massey’s campus is centrally located with
excellent transport links, and a choice of
supported or independent accommodation for
first year students is nearby. The entertainment
hubs of Courtenay Place and Cuba St, as well

Puawai says her BMVA gave her the
confidence to express herself and has
helped take her to places not even she
imagined at the beginning of her studies.
“When I started I was really passionate
about painting but the course offers other
art forms like photography and media
studies. Over the years my passion
changed as I started creating videos.”
After graduating Puawai became one of the
presenters on iconic youth TV show Pukana
and has a growing online audience for her
Hey Puawai videos. She credits her success
to the course that awakened her passion for
performance art.
“The amazing lecturers have open minds
about different whakaaro, different types of
work and you’re appreciated for your ideas.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the
BMVA… the skills to express myself and the
confidence and passion I’ve gained in my art
and in where I come from, in my pepeha.”
A woman of many talents, Puawai was one
of the artists involved in the hit te reo song

and also performed at the national kapa
