Contemporary Art
The course structure requires you to complete a cohesive sequence of core units of study, supplemented by a range of electives. A capstone unit in the form of a contemporary art project allows you to unite the major themes of the course.
As part of your studies, you will also complete a compulsory praxis component of study. This may 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.
