Course Code: 0845
The Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Honours is a fourth-year degree course which can be studied full-time for one year. The course is suited to those students who wish to pursue the subject of their undergraduate course at a higher level. It caters for the student who wishes to make a specialised study of a particular area, or the professional artist who wishes to study new directions or specific interests. The emphasis of the course is on studio practice. The student is required to plan, organise and carry out an individual investigation into some aspects of the visual arts. Applicants may undertake a program of study in painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture or tapestry or any combination of these.
The main aim of the fine art honours program is to facilitate the enhancement of the candidate's personal aesthetic and to increase his or her capacity to formulate and express concepts appropriate to his of her chosen disciplines of painting, printmaking, sculpture and tapestry.
To qualify for entry into the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Honours, applicants will be required to have completed a tertiary course of three years, Diploma of Art and Design (Fine Art) or Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art). Applicants with alternative or equivalent qualifications will be considered on their merits.
Prospective students will be interviewed by a selection panel consisting of the head of the Department of Fine Art and senior academic staff representing the department's major areas of study. Candidates will bring to the interview a folio of work and slides where these are more appropriate.
At the completion of the course students will be assessed on an exhibition of work at a professional level and an illustrated written document that will support and/or record the program of work carried out during the study.
The assessment panel will consist of the head of the Department of Fine Art, the senior lecturer responsible for the student's major study area, two academic staff and an external examiner.
