Overview
The Bachelor of Creative Arts program provides an integrated and flexible approach to studying creative arts disciplines. The degree allows students to concentrate their studies in one area or range across a number of creative disciplines to construct a broad personalised program that creates a unique academic space to develop individual creativity. Students choose from courses that develop practical skills in creative production and from courses that develop analytical and evaluative skills in reflection. Reflection courses are intended to help students use knowledge to strengthen, deepen and inform their creative work. The core courses in the degree offer students the opportunity to think deeply about creativity as a process and creative arts as individual disciplines. The capstone is specifically designed to help students bridge the worlds of university and work by exploring ideas, developing skills and learning how to make a career in the arts. The degree contains opportunities for work integrated learning (internships), international exchange, practice-led research and developing professional relationships with working creative artists.
The Bachelor of Creative Arts is an AQF Level 7 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 3 years.
