| Description | This specialist degree provides a high-quality academic qualification in the theory and practice of the fine arts that carries credibility both nationally and internationally and empowers artists in their pursuit of national and international recognition.

Students without this background are required to do preliminary work. |
| Admission requirements | Qualifications equivalent to a Bachelor of Fine Arts with at least upper second class honours. Applicants may be accepted if they have completed the requirements of a bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline, plus the requirements for a qualification in Art Practice from a recognised tertiary institution (or are judged by the Board, having regard to the recommendation of the Head of the School of Architecture, Landscape and Visual Arts, to have equivalent practical expertise and professional standing) and who can satisfy the Board that they have the general ability to complete the course and the ability to prepare and present a thesis. |
