F2007 Bachelor of Fine Art and Bachelor of Business

Double degree courses include the features of the component degree courses, except that electives may be reduced.

Fine Art

F2003 Bachelor of Fine Art is a specialist course which develops through theme studies in history and theory, drawing, and fine art knowledge and practice. In the art history and curating specialisation, these will come together through an internship and a final research project. In the fine art specialisation, these will come together during the final two studio units in the third year of the course. In both specialisations, final projects will be exhibited in the graduand exhibition.

Part A. History and theory studies

History and theory units will equip you with the skills necessary to research fine arts issues and provide the research methods relevant to your studio or workshop practice. They will enable you to contextualise your own practice and communicate ideas and strategies. Through the prism of history, as well as reference to bodies of knowledge relevant to cultural production, you will begin to situate the place of art in society.

Part B. Drawing foundation

This will assist you to develop the perceptual, practical and intellectual skills required by art, design and architecture students in the discipline of drawing.

Part C. Fine art knowledge and practice

Through this component of the course you will develop key skills and concepts particular to your fine art specialisation. Through lectures and seminars, studios or practice driven workshops, you will develop the capacity for independent cultural production within fine art and related fields. Interdisciplinary skills and practices will be explored in conjunction with critical thinking. Students specialising in art history and curating will have the opportunity to interact with topics and students from a range of relevant fields in the
arts.

Part D. Occupational health and safety study

This will introduce you to occupational health, safety and environmental training particularly within the context of studying art, design and architecture.


Business

B2000 Bachelor of Business is a comprehensive course, structured in three equal parts. In the double degree course you complete:

It will contribute breadth to your knowledge of business and develop your understanding of multi-disciplinary decision making in organisations. It will also give you the opportunity to learn more about each discipline before finalising your choice of major.

Part B. Business listed major

This will provide you with a focused program of study that will develop your expertise in one discipline area. You will develop, apply and communicate an advanced level of understanding of the concepts and theoretical frameworks that constitute the knowledge base of your major area of study.
