This course doesn't require an ATAR for entry. You can apply using ECU's Creative Humanities Portfolio Entry pathway. Alternatively, academic admission requirements may be satisfied through completion of an AQF Cert IV, an Undergraduate Certificate, a University Preparation Course, the Skills for Tertiary Admissions Test, the Indigenous University Orientation Course, the Experience Based Entry Scheme, or 0.25 EFTSL of study at bachelor level or higher at an Australian higher education provider.

Graduates will discover employment opportunities within the vibrant cultural sector, both nationally and internationally, including roles as artists, curators, designers, exhibition and installation team members, creative directors and writers.

Students are required to complete 240 credit points of core units and 120 credit points of elective units, totalling 360 credit points over 3 years full-time. Students that complete a 4-unit, subject-based Elective Sequence may nominate to have this recorded on their transcript as a minor in the subject area; alternatively, students may complete any other combination of major, minors, or elective units from the School of Arts and Humanities or other Schools in the university.
