Program focus

The Bachelor of Creative Arts (Honours) provides an advanced-level program of study. Students can elect to specialise in the disciplines of Music, Theatre or Visual Arts, or to pursue an interdisciplinary hybrid creative arts project in consultation with the Honours Program Coordinator. The Honours program involves students in an intellectual engagement with both theoretical and practical aspects of their chosen disciplines.

The BCA Honours program consists of a two pathway structure where students can choose either a theory or practice led emphasis as outlined in the BCAH recommended enrolment pattern for each discipline area.

Program aims

The program aims to produce graduates who have advanced specific discipline knowledge and skills. Students will acquire the ability to research independently, apply theory and develop academic expertise in their chosen fields. The Program will extend student鈥檚 appreciation of the cultural contributions offered by the creative arts to local and regional communities and Australian. In addition to these generic aims, each discipline within the Program has specific aims:

• Music: The program aims to produce graduates who have specialised and advanced training in the areas of music performance. They will also have the intellectual and practical skills necessary to apply knowledge in further study, research, employment, and community service.

• Theatre: The program aims to produce graduates who will have an advanced understanding of the nature and impact of drama and theatre in human society who will be proficient in critical analysis and problem solving relating to the theory and performance of dramatic texts and to the intersection between theory and practice.

• Visual Arts: The program aims to produce graduates who have an advanced understanding of visual arts theory and practice. They will be able to articulate and sustain a sophisticated analysis in relation to a range of issues involving the relation of the arts and society both historically and in contemporary times.

Program objectives

On successful completion of the program, students should be able to demonstrate:

• a high level of discipline-based skills and knowledge that extends the student鈥檚 undergraduate achievement
