We are one of Australia’s largest, most dynamic and most diverse creative art, design and media schools. We offer more disciplines and interdisciplinary study opportunities than any other Australian creative school.

 

 

Meet our people – made up of artists, designers and digital creators.

We aspire to be the world leader in educating artists, designers and digital media creators.
Using the latest teaching methods, underpinned by leading-edge technology and an innovative learning environment, we hope to inspire a new generation of creative thinkers. Our programs are based in studio practice and are industry relevant, while our pioneering research programs range from immersive interactive environments to Indigenous knowledge and global issues.
