The University of Auckland Faculty of Creative Arts and Industries (CAI), previously known as the National Institute of Creative Arts and Industries (NICAI), was a former faculty of the University of Auckland. The Faculty originated through a merger of the University's architecture, dance studies, fine and visual arts, music and planning programmes into NICAI in 2006. In 2016, NICAI was renamed the Faculty of Creative Arts and Industries.[2]

In 2024, the University of Auckland proposed dividing the Faculty's creative arts and industries programmes between the proposed Faculty of Arts and Education and the Faculty of Engineering and Design.[3][4] In January 2025, CAI's Dance Studies programme, Elam School of Fine Arts and School of Music were merged into the new Faculty of Arts and Education while its School of Architecture and Planning and Design programme were merged into the Faculty of Engineering and Design.[2]
