Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 00116K
The Master of Contemporary Art serves as a bridge between undergraduate study and independent art practice. The focus of the course is twofold: to develop an individual, professional art practice and a deeper understanding of how this practice intersects with contemporary art.The emphasis in the first year is on experimentation, speculation and engaged dialogue with staff and other students in an on-campus independent studio setting. In the second year, you will identify an area of independent research to investigate via a year long studio project, which culminates in an assessment and public exhibition in the annual Masters exhibition. Tuition is conducted through a seminar programme and individual tutorials, with support from an assigned Academic Advisor. Throughout the degree you will have opportunities to access a wide range of professional opportunities including graduate intensives, group and solo exhibition, and local and international travel.
