Summary
Artists are storytellers, change-makers, disruptors and creators who shape our culture and enrich our society.
At Elam, you will develop skills in creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and entrepreneurship. These skills will prepare you to make an impact in businesses and other organisations, in all areas of the creative industries and in the wider community.
The BFA gives you freedom to bring your ideas to life by exploring, researching, and experimenting in a wide range of creative media and technologies. Our teachers and specialist technicians will support and guide your making, allowing you to refine your skills and produce artworks of high calibre.
Browse contemporary art projects by our Fine Arts students.
You can also study towards a BFA alongside another discipline as part of a conjoint degree. This means you complete two undergraduate programmes at the same time. You can complete a BFA conjoint with a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science.
Please note that, while you can study for most of a BFA part-time, the final semester needs to be completed full-time. This is because FINEARTS 321 and FINEARTS 322 need to be taken together.
