    About

    Introduction

    The BFA is a prestigious degree that will give you a broad knowledge in visual arts, multimedia, and design before you specialise.

    The BFA not only focuses on developing your practice, but also helps to build your identity as an artist. The tight-knit cohort adds to the supportive and diverse community of practitioners.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Entry requirements

    To apply for admission to the Intermediate Year (first year) of the BFA, you need to have met University Entrance requirements.

    We prefer students who took arts in high school, but anyone with a good portfolio will be considered.

    All applicants need to submit an application form, a letter of introduction, and a portfolio of work.

    English Program Requirements

    English language courses offered in partnership with CCEL will prepare you for study at Foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate degree level. The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses offered by CCEL are designed to provide you with the specific language and study skills you will need to succeed in academic study.

    Further details and application form are available from the CCEL site.
