Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours)

This is a prestigious program in the discipline and practice of fine art for high achieving students, who undertake coursework, research and practical training with a focus on fine art studio, curation, or art history and theory. Carrying out an independent research project in their selected area of specialisation, our graduates are equipped for a successful arts career or pathway to higher level research in fine art.

Bachelor of Fine Art (Art History and Curating)

Our Bachelor of Art History and Curating equips students with the skills to succeed in a creative and influential career as a curator, researcher, or writer. Throughout their studies they have worked closely with the nationally significant Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA), and learnt about the history of art from foremost scholars and art writers. Our graduates have acquired skills in the theory and practice of curating, and developed a broad base of knowledge that sets them up for a career in Australia or abroad.
