Bachelor of Creative Arts

A Bachelor of Creative Arts from ACU will inspire you to become a versatile and agile innovator while developing the skills and experience needed to adapt to an ever-changing creative landscape.

You don’t need an extensive portfolio to apply or undergo a gruelling audition process. Instead, be ready to immerse yourself in a range of creative arts that foster flexible and innovative thinking, be prepared to offer out-of-the-box creative solutions, dive into self-expression without limitations and get primed to thrive.

Throughout your degree you’ll have the opportunity to explore a diverse range of creative mediums and develop your creative specialisation while learning real-world skills alongside world-class academics and practicing technicians.

You will benefit from hands-on, project-based learning and exhibit your skills to the public through exhibitions, publications, and performances.

You will also have exceptional global opportunities to join our exciting overseas study experiences in locations such as New York and Rome and build international networks and cross-cultural agility.

Then in your final year, you’ll complete a major creative project in your chosen art form, whether it’s communication, creative writing, design and technologies, drama, music, graphic design, media, or visual arts.
