Overview

Offering a vibrant and progressive approach to learning, this double degree allows you to gain experience in analysing and synthesising complex ideas, while encouraging you to develop your own creative, practical and conceptual skills.

Throughout the Bachelor of Creative Arts, you will gain the skills to become a practicing artist; to develop practical skills in your chosen discipline, as well as the theoretical knowledge to understand how creative art functions in contemporary cultural, political and artistic environments.

The Bachelor of Arts will equip you for today’s rapidly changing world. You will develop skills and capacities necessary to understand how the world has come to be the way it is today.

See the course handbook for more information.
