Art History and Curating and Business - F2022

This globally relevant double degree responds to the increasing demand for professionals in the creative and cultural arts sector who have specialised knowledge and understanding of the art world combined with excellent business skills.

Co-located with the nationally significant Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA), you’ll work with some of Australia’s most successful artists, art theorists and cultural commentators. Combined with a choice of 12 business majors you’ll gain a broad understanding of business in areas like management, marketing, accounting and more.

This course leads to two separate degrees. You will be awarded one of:

  • Bachelor of Art History and Curating

and

  • Bachelor of Business.

You’ll develop your understanding and appreciation of art including its origins and significance. You’ll gain hands-on experience developing an exhibition concept and internship opportunities will develop your curating skills in ‘real-life’ situations.

In the business part of your studies, you'll gain a broad understanding of the skills and knowledge required in business and with 12 different business majors to choose from including accounting, marketing, management and many more you'll be able to explore your interest.

Through this study, you’ll develop a broad base of knowledge that sets you up for a career in Australia or abroad.
