Bachelor of Creative Arts Mid-Year Entry
Craft a more interesting world
Creative artists are performers, designers, writers, animators, curators and directors. They keep the world of art and culture spinning. They make people think, laugh and feel.
Studying creative arts means practising new ways of making while learning from those who’ve inspired and entertained throughout history.
What will you do?
Our Bachelor of Creative Arts develops individual creativity and knowledge. You will:
- choose from production courses like creative writing, music and media techniques
- study theory in your areas of interest, from philosophy and ethics to art history and visual cultures
- gain valuable work experience within the creative arts industry
- attend masterclasses with visiting international academics
- go behind the scenes of a major arts festival through our partnership with the Adelaide Festival
- network with leaders and artists at the field’s cutting edge.
You can also pursue your creative interests overseas with optional exchanges and study tours.
Where could it take you?
Creative Arts graduates follow and fashion all sorts of exciting career pathways. You could exhibit your work in national galleries or spotlight new creative talent. You might publish fiction, biographies or reviews for film festivals. Perhaps you’ll nurture creativity in young people through music programs.
