Overview

Bachelor of Visual Arts

The Bachelor of Visual Arts program at Federation University has been reimagined in response to the evolving contemporary art landscape, with a focus on collaboration and self-initiated creative practice. 

Courses in contemporary studio art practice are contextualised through a comprehensive historical and theoretical foundation.

You will develop skills in painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture and installation, printmaking, and media technologies. 

You will also gain skills in virtual and physical exhibition planning and management through the online and campus galleries.  

The calendar is aligned with events such as the Ballarat International Foto Biennale, Ballarat Heritage Festival and regional organisations such as the Art Gallery of Ballarat, TarraWarra Museum of Art, Latrobe Regional Gallery and Gippsland Art Gallery.

Electives include Arts Writing, Indigenous Studies, Entrepreneurship, Behavioural Studies, Media and Screen Studies, Education and Web Project Development.

You will be prepared for a professional career in the arts through the internship program. 

Placements are available in art galleries, arts organisations, schools, and community organisations.

Many of the graduates including David Noonan, Kim Anderson and Archibald Prize winner Marcus Wills enjoy successful careers as internationally renowned artists, curators, gallery directors and arts administrators.

Work Integrated Learning

Arts Internship (VACAP3001) is a new course included in this program in line with FedUni’s focus on employability which offers students the opportunity to pursue an internship (15cp) course in local galleries / schools / community organisations.
