Due to the ongoing response to COVID-19, online study may replace some or all of your on-campus classes. We'll be sure to keep you informed of any changes.
Within this degree, you will develop skills in self-expression and creative problem solving to generate art work. You will be encouraged to participate in contemporary culture, engaging directly with Tasmania’s internationally acclaimed arts culture through our ongoing partnerships with festivals and arts institutions across the state. You will be provided with opportunities to actively contribute to the cultural life of our society and interact with both Australian and international visiting artists.

You will gain an awareness of your own creative practice and the role and function of visual art and design within contemporary culture. You can choose from a range of selected units, which will provide a foundation for further study in fine art and/or enable you to encounter and develop skills in diverse art disciplines.

Practice in generous spaces that fuel your imagination; Hobart’s former IXL jam factory and Launceston’s historic Western Railway Yard, in the heart of Tasmania’s creative precincts. Studios are specially designed to foster a variety of skills and specialisations.

Our staff are closely linked with and active in industry, giving students access to real world insights, skills and contacts. Students have a variety of opportunities to build close working relationships with renowned visiting artists, and artists in residence.

Students are offered a wide range of opportunities to participate in festivals such as Ten Days on the IslandJunction Arts FestivalThe Unconformity and engage with acclaimed artists commissioned by MONA, TMAG, QVMAG, and more. Take a look at just a few highlights of student works at Panopticon III, part of Dark Mofo 2019.
