A Transformative Learning Experience

Join a vibrant community in our new studio spaces where you’ll work amongst other disciplines such as dance, theatre, film, digital media, animation, visual arts, craft, service design, and more.

You’ll develop your own project in specialist creative studios, guided by industry-leading academics and practitioners.

In your first semester, you’ll build foundations in:

Positioning your creative practice within a broader theoretical and cultural context
Engaging with Indigenous research methodologies
Thinking critically and experimenting with collaborative and industry-oriented approaches

Your project could take the form of a performance, exhibition, design prototype, publication, or another innovative creative outcome.
