A UOW Bachelor of Creative Arts encourages students to immerse themselves creatively, critically and practically. Studying creative arts at UOW means students get the right balance of practical and theoretical subjects and can design their own degree to meet their career aspirations. Be inspired by our purpose-built labs, the experienced practising writers teaching in their areas of expertise. Students benefit from technical facilities and studio-based practice where they are encouraged to carve out their own creative niche. Work alongside exceptional artists exploring new genres and forms in the creative industries and the impact these have on the creative landscape. This degree prepares students to become part of the global creative industries and a community as passionate about self-expression as the students are. A Creative Arts degree equips students with a sound knowledge of contemporary arts, art theory and history within Australia and how that fits within an international context, reflecting on social, cultural and ethical issues.
