Exciting changes are coming to our creative arts programs
With a rapidly changing creative environment, a broad creative skillset has never been more important. This is why from 2025 we’re launching the Bachelor of Creative Arts degree (previously Bachelor of Fine Arts). The future-focused interdisciplinary nature of this degree makes it one of the most customisable creative arts degrees available. With over 100+ study options, across 8 majors, students can become highly skilled across multiple disciplines within, and beyond, the creative arts.
With built-in flexibility, students will have countless opportunities to broaden and enhance their creative practice. Students will dive deep into their chosen field with specialised disciplinary units, while also benefiting from cross-disciplinary common units that develop essential creative, critical, and professional skills.
Innovative double degree
Boost your career prospects and employability by studying a double degree, such as the new Bachelor of Creative Arts / Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Psychology), offered with all majors except acting. This unique combination allows students passionate about psychology to enrich their creative arts major with critical, digital, and practical skills rooted in psychology. The arts have a profound impact on our wellbeing, and this double degree empowers graduates to enhance the wellbeing of others by equipping them with essential skills to thrive in the growing holistic health field. With Australia’s expanding population and increasing complex health and social needs, the demand for art therapists is on the rise (NSW Health, 2024).
Changes to our technical production major
For students interested in technical production, they can pursue this with a minor in production design within the Bachelor of Creative Arts. Students can choose their first major from a diverse range of options including acting, animation, contemporary art, creative writing, dance, drama, film and screen and music. Alongside their major, students can enhance their study by selecting the production design minor.
In the production design minor, students gain hands-on experience with real-world skills and techniques such as set and spatial design, lighting design, projection and multimedia design, and interactive audio-visual performance systems. Students will explore how production design influences and enhances all forms of creative arts and experiences, from traditional methods to cutting-edge digital installations and performances.
