Arts and Art History and Curating - A2022

Online Chat

Set to transform the impact of your degree on your personal growth today and your career tomorrow, the Bachelor of Arts provides you with flexibility, choice and the chance to follow your passions.  Across its three-part structure, you will complete Arts major studies, specified studies and free elective studies. Selecting from approximately 30 areas of study from across the humanities and social science disciplines, your major is a concentration of subjects that equip you with specialised knowledge in a specific area or field of study. Complementing your major studies, your specified studies focus on a range of specialist areas: global challenges, society and culture, ways of understanding, thinking and communicating, Indigenous knowledges, global experience, future professional skills and global leadership.

In Art History and Curating you'll develop a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of historical and contemporary movements as well as different geographies and cultures in art history, and build on your knowledge of artworks and artists. You’ll learn about the origins of art and explore many different periods, such as the Italian Renaissance to Baroque, modern and contemporary Australian, Asian and international art, the history and theory of photography, film and video, Indigenous Australian creative practice and ways of knowing, and more.

You will gain all the benefits of each degree course and be fully equipped to pursue a career in either field separately or to combine the two in your chosen work.
