If you’re planning to study at UOW immediately after finishing your HSC, International Baccalaureate (IB), or an interstate equivalent, you can apply for Early Admission to this course. Applications can be submitted via the UOW Early Admission website during the designated period, usually June – August each year.

Students can also apply through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).

If you’re a non-school leaver (e.g., completed Year 12 previously and/or have a TAFE qualification or equivalent), you can apply directly to UOW.

Before applying, please review the requirements, intakes, and deadlines for your chosen degree.

International students are encouraged to apply with the support of an approved UOW agent. An agent can help navigate the application process and ensure that you submit all necessary documentation. For your nearest agent, please see our agent list.

Alternatively, if you would like to apply directly (without an agent), you can start the process through our Apply Online portal. Please note, some applicants will not be eligible to apply directly and will be prompted to apply via an agent.

International students who are studying an Australian Year 12 qualification in or outside of Australia may choose to apply through UOW Early Admission, and/or through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).

Overview

A creative arts degree immerses you in the creative industries and challenges you to think deeply and broadly about the changing world and the role the arts play within it.

Throughout the degree you will develop the skills and knowledge necessary to become a leading creative profession in your chosen field. Specialise in creative writing, music, theatre studies, visual arts or visual arts and design.

In the final year of your degree, you will work on a major creative project with the goal of submitting it for professional publication, exhibition or presentation. Various artist and writer-in-residence programs take place throughout your degree, and you will be encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities.
