Overview

If you are inspired to create and you want to build a career in the Arts, the Bachelor of Creative Arts is for you. This course develops confident, adaptable thinkers through hands-on learning, and you’ll get to learn about your discipline’s historical and theoretical contexts to prepare you for the changing world of contemporary arts and culture.

In your first year, you choose a major from our suite: Creative Writing, Music, Performance and Theatre, Visual Arts, or Visual Arts and Design. You study in purpose-built facilities including industry-standard music recording studios, painting and textile studios, art galleries, and performance theatres. In this shared and vibrant environment, you are supported to collaborate across disciplines and foster creative exchanges.

Throughout your degree, you learn alongside talented peers, and are guided by award-winning artists , published authors, professional musicians and composers, renowned performers and playwrights to engage in real-world projects that connect your creative ventures with communities and audiences. This access to industry experience ensures your learning is current, relevant, and connected to the professional world.

You have opportunities to expand your perspective through international exchange and internships, supporting local and global career pathways. The elective stream of the degree will also allow you to broaden your studies across UOW. 

This course structure lets you build expertise in your chosen major within this degree, whilst giving you the flexibility to broaden your studies or specialise further through a second major, a minor, or elective subjects.

From your first class, you will start building foundational knowledge in your chosen fields. In the creative arts core subjects, you learn collaboratively with your peers on how creative arts work, from project development and funding to audience engagement and the role of creative work in shaping culture, community and social change. The degree will strengthen your critical thinking, communication skills, and ability to apply creative solutions across a range of professional contexts.

In your chosen major, you develop creative and technical skills, confidence, and practical knowledge through the making and presentation of original works as performances, exhibitions, concerts, and publications for public audiences.

Work-integrated learning is central to your study. You produce and present your projects in collaborative, professional environments, working with industry and community partners.

Through collaboration, industry engagement, internships and international opportunities, you'll develop the adaptability and professional capabilities needed to succeed in a rapidly changing world. Study with us will help you develop your professional identity in the Creative Arts.

The Bachelor of Creative Arts equips you with important, transferable skills that can be used throughout the creative and cultural sector, a sector which brings in over 60 billion dollars a year to Australia’s economy and offers many diverse career opportunities. 

When you graduate from UOW, you’ll have a creative portfolio, industry insight and important skills to build a sustainable career across the creative industries and beyond, or progress to further study.
