The Associate Degree is a two year entry level program that provides students with basic skills in the fundamental aspects of visual art; drawing, painting, foundation studies, professional studies and the theory and history of art practice. On completion, the student will be equipped to practice as a visual artist or in related occupations in a variety of employment contexts. The Associate Degree is also designed to provide students with the research and study skills necessary for developing skills and practice further.

Students who have completed the Associate Degree in Visual Art, may complete a third year of study in order to gain the Bachelor of Visual Art. This year is designed to enable students to immerse themselves in their art practice in a way which will permit them to draw together the skills and knowledge gained over the previous years of study and to emerge from the course as independent visual artists, or in related occupations, and to research and develop an area of visual arts practice over their careers.

The Bachelor of Visual Art (Honours) program is intended to build on the skills, abilities and knowledge gained in the BVA degree by providing students with an opportunity to develop advanced level skills and knowledge in their chosen visual arts discipline, with particular emphasis on research skills, and to concurrently pursue an area of special interest in depth through sustained engagement in studio based practice. It is intended that graduates should be able to develop a unique body of artwork at a high level that embodies substantial reflection on the nature of contemporary visual art practice.
