Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree
The four majors offered within the Bachelor of Fine Arts are FINE ARTS, PHOTO MEDIA, FASHION DESIGN and GRAPHIC DESIGN.
Students have the opportunity to experience all areas of specialisation offered at Whitecliffe in Semester One before moving into their chosen specialist areas in Semester Two of Year One.
This broad initiation into the range of disciplines in the first year increases appreciation of the arts and helps students make an informed choice of major.
Specialist study is supported at every level by theoretical and professional practice papers. Students are encouraged to exhibit to develop professional skills of planning, executing and presenting work within a critical environment. The programme's philosophy is to combine creative research skills with solid awareness of the public and professional requirements of visual arts professions. It's a liberating, exciting and challenging way to learn.
The final year culminates in graduating exhibitions by students from Fine Arts, Photo Media Fashion Design and Graphic Design.
