About

The Fine Arts - Visual Art program at University of Melbourne offers an immersive, studio-based environment that fosters self-directed studio practice in your choice of drawing and printmaking, painting, photography or sculpture.

Overview

Overview

The Fine Arts - Visual Art program at University of Melbourne is a three-year degree that equips graduates with the necessary conceptual and material creative knowledge to engage and thrive in the professional contemporary art industry.

In the first year, you'll engage in foundational techniques to develop and strengthen your skills base enabling creative self-expression. In the second year, you'll use your knowledge to further engage with and develop your studio practice and artistic voice. 

In your final year of study, you'll have the unique opportunity to travel overseas and/or to involve yourself in research-based internal electives. The synthesis of these skills culminates in third year with the capstone experience of the Graduation Exhibition, a professionally curated and installed showcase of student art work from all disciplines, visited by national industry professionals, patrons, collectors and members of the general public.
