CREATIVE ARTS
Our courses equip students with the skills needed for success in the contemporary creative industries. Students are mentored in the creation of diverse portfolios of creative work and given opportunities for their work to receive important public exposure.
Our degrees help students navigate digital disruption, arts policy, ethical cultural practices and entrepreneurialism within the arts. In working with expert practitioners and award-winning teachers, our students acquire the necessary skills to make a living in the creative arts sector and, through exposure to the best contemporary creative arts practices, are equipped to realise their aspirations.
VISUAL ARTS
Our visual arts courses provide a broad foundation in visual arts and design, developing well-rounded visual arts practitioners and critical thinkers able to meet the challenges of working across a range of areas in the contemporary creative spheres. Throughout the courses, students acquire a mix of studio-based visual art and graphic design skills such as: drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, ceramics, video-production and a suite of graphic design courses. Students also explore the rich histories and theories embedded in art and design practice. Emphasis is placed on gaining industry experience through our unique internship programs and receiving professional practice skills for work readiness.
We offer a range of study abroad opportunities which students can select each year that contribute towards their Degree: these include studying Renaissance and Baroque art at our Rome Campus or travelling to the Venice Biennale to focus on contemporary art.Students can also apply for our student exchange program for a semester at a range of institutions abroad. Students are taught by staff who are active practitioners in their field and benefit from small class sizes in an intimate studio environment.
