Contemporary Art

The course structure requires you to complete a cohesive sequence of core units of study supplemented by a range of electives and a capstone unit that unites the themes of the whole course in a major contemporary art project.

As part of your studies, you complete a compulsory praxis component of study that can be undertaken as:

(a) an industry placement
(b) a professional project
(c) a research project consisting of an academically rigorous written component that prepares you for a higher degree research pathway.

This course is part of an embedded sequence including the graduate diploma and master’s degree.

Full-time pathway

**Students starting the course mid year (July) take CACA5003 in the second semester of their studies.

You can exit with a Graduate Diploma in Contemporary Art once you successfully complete all Semester 1 and 2 units of study.
