This program features a hands-on, studio-based learning approach that provides depth of knowledge in your chosen study area. You collaborate with students and teaching staff from across disciplines to reflect industry practice, work on real-world projects briefed by real clients, and get career planning assistance to help you on your creative journey. With transdisciplinary project-driven capstone experiences in your final year, you are prepared for a highly professional and entrepreneurial approach to your creative practice. You can take complementary studies from creative industries or other faculties across the university. The visual arts major offers a contemporary open-studio environment allowing you to practise art across a range of media including painting, drawing, sculpture, video, photography, installation, performance, and print-making.
