The aim of this course is to afford the student the opportunity to direct their studies to a focused area for investigation and resolution, to critically analyse and reflect on their creative practice and research investigation in national and international contexts.
The Master of Arts Practice - with specialisations, replaces the Master of Visual and Performing Art, and may be undertaken full-time over one year, or part-time over two years; either by distance education, on campus or in mixed mode, i.e. the first year on campus and the second year by distance education, or vice versa.
The following specialisations are available:
It is a Commonwealth supported course which provides students the opportunity to undertake a supervised creative practice-based project in either; fine arts, performance, photography, theatre, television, sound, text, hybrid arts or new media, or any other creative discipline, which can be exhibited, published, produced, performed or presented; and a writing project, as part of which the student carries out contextual research in creative practices and critical reflection on the practice based project.
The specialisation with which the student graduates is dependent on the nature of the project.
Students may commence in either session.
Students of the course are supervised and guided by lecturers from the School of Communication and Creative Industries experienced in their field.

I have been accepted into the Bachelor of Communication (Theatre/Media) at CSU Bathurst to commence in 2012. I am a film and theatre enthusiast who is keen to create my own works and collaborate on works with others in both forms of media. I believe my entry reflects not only my passion, creativity and skill in creative arts/media, but also reflects my excitement for the course I am to complete.
