As the program is offered within a diverse and multidisciplinary arts community, you’ll have immediate access to a huge range of creative artefacts. You’ll be able to study how they are produced, collected and cared for first-hand.

    You’ll learn to conduct academic research on practical aspects of the discipline as well as on curatorial discourse. You’ll study earning strategies and means of communicating ideas. You’ll also learn quite a lot about collaborative creativity and how artists, curators and others can support each other effectively. You’ll learn to use both the ‘classic’ technologies of the discipline and the latest advances. Perhaps more importantly, you’ll learn how to truly foster audience engagement in many different contexts.

    Course Outline

    This degree program is typically delivered over 1 year at full time, but is often taken at part time over 2 years.

    The program is intended to demystify curatorial practice, giving you a broad understanding of the subject as well as allowing you to specialise in some particular aspects. This specialisation could form the foundation of your career.
