Programme Overview

Become a professional glass artist with Whanganui UCOL’s unique Diploma in Glass Design and Production. UCOL is the only tertiary institute in NZ that offers the internationally recognised Diploma.* This Diploma, taught at the Wanganui Glass School, is an intense educational programme designed to develop your skills and technical abilities to create distinctive contemporary glass art. Glass School students enjoy a low student-to-tutor ratio, and dedicated facilities designed for hot, warm and cold glass production. As a graduate, your Diploma will equip you to work as an assistant in an existing glass studio, or to establish yourself as an independent professional artist. Glass School graduates are successful as artists both nationally and internationally. Glass is a fascinating, alluring and seductive material – so if that’s your passion, contact UCOL or visit http://www.wanganuiglassschool.com/.

* With the Wanganui District Council’s support, UCOL will continue to offer the Diploma in Glass Design and Production Level 6.
