Associate Degree in Arts - Art and Curatorial Practices

The Associate Degree in Arts is a two-year course, full time (or part-time equivalent), that provides you with opportunities to interpret human culture and behaviour from different perspectives and periods, to explore today’s big questions and learn how to support the social and economic development of humanity, andor to be immersed in creativity, performance and innovation. The award is designed to allow you to choose your path: it can be the first two-years of your Bachelor of Arts study, or you may like to enrol in this degree to pursue your passion and undertake two of the majors in the BA, or to extend your curiosity and try units from a number of disciplines. The Associate Degree in Arts gives you the flexibility to choose from subjects to build your knowledge and diversify your skills from a wide range of over twenty possible majors and minors in the Bachelor of Arts as well as many individual elective study options.This major will prepare you to work in areas such as curating and administrating in emerging, independent and events-based arts, as well as equipping you for further study in postgraduate coursework and research. The major will provide training in project management and develop your effective communication strategies and digital literacy. Unit choices allow you to explore how art and curatorial practices can facilitate the voices of diverse communities, become part of tourism and cultural heritage interpretation, and bring the past into the present through digital humanities. In your curatorial practice project, you will develop and pitch an idea for your own curatorial project to a panel of industry experts, ready to take your next step through connections with art institutions and experimental, independent art organisations.
