This dynamic course emphasizes research through creative practice. Principal research areas include painting, drawing, print-media, installation, sculpture, digital imaging, photomedia and visual arts. The program requires students to develop a research project that results in a new body of creative or visual work with accompanying written and visual documentation. The documentation is a commentary that outlines the development of the project and its conclusion, and provides a critical context within which the work may be viewed and assessed. The written commentary will be between 10,000 and 20,000 words, with a photographic record of the visual or creative work being bound into the document. Written work is not examined separately but considered together with an exhibition of new visual works, which demonstrate a conclusion to the research proposal at the master's level. Students must also complete a sequence of two coursework units which will guide them through the documentary dimensions of their project.

Entry Requirements

Applicants should hold an Australian bachelor degree with honours (Upper H2B (mark of 65 or above)) or equivalent from a recognised tertiary institution. In special circumstances, the faculty may admit an applicant who does not meet these academic criteria. In such cases, the faculty will consider your qualifications, publications (including exhibitions) and experience in the proposed field of study. Such applications will be considered on a case by case basis. All applications must be accompanied by 10 - 15 images of recent original work, clearly numbered with a corresponding list of details attached and a research proposal of 200-300 words.
