Bachelor of Creative Arts

You can select one of three majors: Fine Art, Screen Arts, or Theatre Arts. Each major gives you a thorough, contemporary understanding of theory and practice in your chosen area.

You'll work with industry-standard equipment in Curtin's Media Production Studio, Hayman Theatre, and the studios, labs and galleries of Curtin's Design and Art precinct, as well as the John Curtin Gallery.

After choosing your major, you can either complement it with a specialisation from another Creative Arts discipline or any study area (plus elective units), or you can choose elective units in any field in which you meet the unit prerequisites. Each major also culminates in a capstone unit where you showcase your skills in an art exhibition, theatre performance, or screen project.

You must meet Curtin's English language requirements. For IELTS Academic, you need an overall band score of 6.5, with minimum scores of 6 in each of Writing, Speaking, Reading, and Listening. Other accepted English tests and qualifications may also be used to meet this requirement.

The 2026 domestic indicative Commonwealth-supported first-year fee is $13,600. This is based on a first-year full-time study load of 200 credit points. Fees will vary depending on the units you choose and do not include administrative, incidental fees (such as art supplies), or textbook costs. All Australian students studying an undergraduate degree are automatically awarded a Commonwealth supported place, which is subsidised by the Australian Government.
