Why should I study Art and Design?
In Australia, in Sydney, Melbourne or rural NSW, design courses are actively available for both domestic students and international students. International students should check with CRICOS first to check out an RTO’s ABN and other requirements.
A course can help you further your technical knowledge, and get the chance to work with actual clients. Design students can also learn new techniques and choose a specialisation to progress their career opportunities both on campus and beyond. Possible Art and Design programs include:
- Bachelor of Arts
- Bachelor of Design
- Professional Interior Design Course
- Fashion Design Certificate
- Certificate III in Photography
You can also do research degrees in art or design courses. Research courses can involve travel to several prestigious art schools and galleries. You may spend time discovering the history of artists such as Monet and Rodin, as well as their techniques and work throughout their primary years. Art history research like this gives you significant insight into fine art in different cultures and how artists have learned different styles.
How can I study an Art and Design course?
There are heaps of courses at more than one school of art, at TAFE or university. There are also more and more courses for the traditional owners of the land, in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art styles to help continue ages-old traditions.
There are part-time and full-time courses available, along with online classes and face-to-face courses.
So if you want to turn your passion into a career, then get started with an Art and Design course today!
