NMIT Viticulture and Winemaking programmes are based in Marlborough, New Zealand's largest viticulture and wine production region.
The Bachelor of Viticulture and Winemaking is suitable for you whether you are a high school graduate, you are wishing to change careers, or you are currently working in the wine industry and want to gain a qualification while in your existing employment. You can study full, part time or online. If you want to study online, you must be working in industry and need to complete residential schools in Marlborough for 5 courses (4-5 days each) over the degree. Online students communicate with tutors via moodle, SKYPE and online forums. The first two years of the programme (Levels 5 and 6) are the compulsory courses. In your last year at level 7 you will have an opportunity to choose electives.
You will gain an in-depth, professional degree covering both growing grapes (viticulture) and winemaking. It includes a six-week practical vintage, vineyard experience and a final year research project.
