Why study the Bachelor of Creative Arts?
Students enrolling in the Bachelor of Creative Arts will study one of the practice-based majors -- Drama, Music, and Writing. They will also select from a range of majors which will introduce them to the interpretation of creative works -- Art History, English, English Literature, Film and Television Studies, Media Studies and Popular Music. Students in the program are given the tools to participate in the growing industry of creative arts by acquiring knowledge and expertise in current and developing practices in music, literature, drama and forms of media studies. The approach of our award-winning lecturers is not only to educate students in the application and practice of creative arts theory, but also to draw on historical knowledge to contextualise practice and to examine the range of approaches to creativity. This program is aimed at providing each graduate the opportunity to gain professional skills in a range of Creative Arts careers. If you choose an extended major from Part C you must still have a single major from Part B. Students who are considering this structure are required to consult with the Faculty of Arts.
