Study Creative Arts

USQ’s Bachelor of Creative Arts is a unique degree that allows you either to delve deeply into one specific discipline area or combine studies in two discipline areas. You will develop your own signature skill set and position yourself for success as an emerging Creative artist.

You will work independently and collaboratively throughout your studies to gain the vital professional knowledge associated with the performance, exhibition, broadcast and film industries. The balance between intensive periods of studio practice, theory studies and personal reflection will prepare you for an exciting career as a professional artist and give you the tools for continuing artistic development over your lifetime.

Choose from four specialisations:

Film, Television and Radio
Music
Theatre
Visual Arts
