This is an interdisciplinary, practice-based fine art program offering studies in four specialised areas: expanded studio practice (drawing, media arts, painting, video art) object-based practice (ceramics, gold and silversmithing) print imaging practice (fine art photography, printmaking) sculpture, sound and spatial practice (sculpture, sound, public art). Studio practice is central to the program. You will develop a range of practical, conceptual and technical skills to enable you to evaluate different approaches to your own practice. Studio courses are taught by high profile practising artists and are complemented by integrated studies in the history and theory of art. The program is taught in world-class facilities and offers flexible study options. Many of our staff and alumni have won prestigious national and international awards.

Multi-skilled and employable in a range of creative industries, our Fine Arts graduates continue to make significant contributions to contemporary art and culture, nationally and internationally.
