The Graduate Diploma of Arts (Visual Arts) provides an opportunity for the
post-degree extension of studio studies in visual arts. To qualify for the
Graduate Diploma of Arts (Visual Arts), students must achieve satisfactory
assessment in a course of advanced studio work to the value of 48 points.
Completion of a final show of work and a written assignment will be required.
To qualify for entry, applicants must hold a degree or diploma with at least
one year of independent work or equivalent professional experience.
The course may be completed in one year of full-time study or the equivalent in
part-time or distance education study. Submissions from individual students
will largely determine the content and character of their course. Acceptance of
a study proposal will be determined by the availability of specialist staff to
supervise the project and the availability of suitable space, facilities and
equipment.
Only a limited number of students will be admitted to the course at any time.
Priority for admission depends on both the previous work history of the
applicant and on the nature and quality of the applicant's proposals for
advanced study projects.
Applicants should submit on the relevant forms a proposal or statement of
intent covering their proposed studio work and topic for the research paper,
plus slides of recent work and a curriculum vitae. Inquiries and submissions
should be directed in the first instance to the administrative officer at the
Gippsland Centre for Art and Design. Completed applications must reach the
centre at Gippsland campus by mid-October each year.
