Bachelor of Fine Arts
Adelaide University, Adelaide, SA, Australia
About this program
Adelaide University's Bachelor of Fine Arts is a three-year studio degree that starts broad, sampling painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture, ceramics, jewellery, glass, and time-based work in video, sound and performance, then narrows to chosen disciplines in years two and three.
Work-integrated learning runs through partnerships with the Samstag Museum, JamFactory and the Art Gallery of South Australia, and students build a portfolio and exhibit publicly. Entry is an ATAR of about 70. It suits students who want to build a practice as a working artist, or move into curatorial, gallery, education or arts administration roles.
