Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts)

TAFE integrated

What is this course about?

CSU's Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) offers students a pathway to Visual Arts practice, in collaboration with TAFE. As future artists, designers, educators or arts managers, students can chose from a wide range of studio options including traditional fine art media such as painting and drawing through to multimedia, design and photography.

TAFE NSW Riverina InstituteAbout the course

The Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) at CSU includes an articulation arrangement with the TAFE NSW Riverina Institute, Wagga Wagga. Students wishing to undertake this program need to complete at least a Certificate IV in Fine Arts at TAFE before entering the second year of the program with CSU. Students completing either the Diploma or Advanced Diploma in Fine Art also qualify to continue onto the Fine Art program with CSU.

As part of the course, students will study drawing, painting and printmaking. They will have the opportunity to study subjects from illustration, multimedia art, photography, graphic design, jewellery or set and costume design subjects for theatre and TV. To relate their studio work to the wider world of visual arts practice, students will also study art history and visual culture subjects. 

Whichever pathway you choose, Fine Art is about making artworks to communicate ideas, lived experiences, thoughts or feelings and to understand your relationship as an artist to the wider field of contemporary arts practice in Australia and internationally.

Hands-on experience

Students have individual work spaces and excellent Studio accommodation with access seven days a week. Students undertake professional exhibition practice in the Wagga Wagga Regional Art Gallery and other galleries across the state throughout their program of study.

Articulation and credit

Students who have completed the Certificate IV in Fine Arts through TAFE NSW Riverina Institute will receive 64 points credit, equivalent to the first year of the degree. All other credit applications are considered on a case by case basis.
