OUR GRADUATES SPEAK - ANDY GIBSON
Andy Gibson's MPhil research looked at the American-influenced accent we use when singing in New Zealand. The project was such a 'hit' that media outlets around the country were all over it.
Andy’s says his decision to do his MPhil at AUT was based on the quality of supervision and the supportive environment in which to do postgraduate study.
