The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) is a prestigious degree that will give you a broad knowledge in visual arts, multimedia, and design before you specialise in one studio area.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts requires a total of 480 points:

• 90 points of compulsory Fine Arts courses
• 45 points of compulsory Art History and Theory and/or Cinema Studies courses
• 270 points towards a specialist studio subject
• 75 points from courses in Arts or other degrees.

Double degrees

It is possible to study a BFA with another degree.

Sculpture

Initial studies in Sculpture focus on a range of specific issues which are fundamental to an understanding of sculptural practice, such as an exploration of contemporary issues related to time and space and context, and the nature and use of materials and processes.

Subsequent studies are aimed at helping students develop a studio practice founded on producing a body of work which is informed by the expanded field of contemporary sculptural practice. These studies are individually constructed and students are encouraged to reflect critically on the development of their work and in exploring and solving sculptural problems.
