Bachelor of Creative Arts

Allow yourself the freedom to explore your creative side while developing the skills and experience to prepare for an ever-changing jobs market. You don’t need an extensive portfolio to apply and you won’t go through a gruelling audition process, just be ready to explore a range of creative arts that foster flexible and innovative thinking, promote creative solutions and explore self-expression.

 Throughout your degree you’ll have the opportunity to exhibit your skills to the public through exhibitions, publications and performances, and take up overseas study opportunities and work within local communities. Then in your final year, you’ll complete a major creative project in your chosen art form, whether it’s communication, creative writing, design and technologies, drama, English, graphic design, media, music, or visual arts.

Professional experience

You will have the option to either complete up to 50 –70 hours of Community Engagement placement or to complete the Big Ideas Social Enterprise and Innovation unit.

The Community Engagement placement gives you the opportunity to use your creativity, skills and initiative working on projects run by community groups, government, not-for-profit, social enterprise or otherwise ethically-focussed organisations.

The Big Ideas Social Enterprise asks you to work with your peers to develop a social enterprise or business concept that meets the needs of a specific area of disadvantage in the community. You’ll hear from experts already doing this work out in the world to help spark your creativity and innovative ideas and ground them in the practical knowledge you’ll need to make them reality.
