COURSE DESCRIPTION
Push boundaries and expand your creative practice in this intensive, flexible and mentored honours degree.
The Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) (Honours) supports and develops your capacity as a practising artist and active researcher in the field of contemporary art.
This degree is designed for students who have successfully completed a three-year degree in contemporary art or craft, or an equivalent field, and who wish to undertake a further year of study to focus exclusively on an individual project.
At this level of study, you will engage with high-level intensive subjects, deepening and enriching your practice through expertise, knowledge and criticality. You will be guided through personalised mentorship and individual supervision, as you are introduced to practice-led research and research methodologies. A flexible curriculum provides opportunities for you to develop an individual project and to further your knowledge and capability for professional or highly skilled art practice, and/or further learning at a postgraduate level.
