Now a faculty of the Southern Institute of Technology (SIT), MAINZ has two state-of-the-art campuses, one in Auckland Central and the other in Christchurch. Each campus offers a great range of programmes, from short introductory, right through to degree-level qualifications.
Students also benefit from the campuses’ high-tech facilities, which include recording studios, MIDI suites, computer labs, rehearsal rooms, DJ booths, and a fully equipped auditorium.

Boasting a strong tradition of live and recorded music-making, Christchurch is a city on the cutting edge of the music scene. Historically noted for the opportunities available, creativity and innovation, Christchurch’s live music venues provide a base for established arts, and new and emerging talent.
As the city develops, following its unprecedented rebuild, it is establishing itself as the country’s most dynamic place to study, work, and live. The latest infrastructure is complemented by up-to-date technology, modern new-builds with a strong emphasis on safety, and a thriving artistic community.
Situated in High St, the MAINZ Christchurch Campus is in the heart of this evolving city. It has been refurbished with recording studios, computer labs and a wide range of specialist equipment. There is also a live sound space at King Edward Terrace, just 15 minutes from the city centre, that provides a modern and purpose-fit audio production complex.
