Throughout our three-year Bachelor of Creative Arts degree, you’ll gain a broad based, contemporary understanding of theory and practice in your chosen major. Learn from discipline experts and industry professionals, who will share their innovative, passionate and contemporary knowledge of the creative arts.

Gain first-hand experience working with industry-standard equipment in our Media Production Studio, Hayman Theatre and the Design and Art precinct studios, labs and galleries. You’ll have opportunities to exhibit, perform and screen works to the public in real-world settings, and benefit from professional internships.

Professional artists are creative people who contribute to the artistic, aesthetic and social needs of contemporary society.

The major is designed for those who wish to be professional artists or pursue a career in the creative industries.

You will focus on a variety of disciplines, including painting, print media, sculpture, drawing, installation and new media.

In the first two years of this program you’ll engage in studio-based activities, focusing on painting, print media, sculpture, drawing, installation, new media and emerging disciplines.

In your final year you’ll undertake self-directed projects, culminating in the opportunity to present your artworks at the annual graduate show.

You’ll also benefit from our artist-in residence program. Each semester Curtin appoints a new artist-in-residence, so you can access the diversity of professional expertise.

Fine art is offered as part of the Bachelor of Creative Arts.
