Course Overview

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) programme is a stand-alone postgraduate qualification, directly following on from the Level 7 Bachelor of Fine Arts programme.

Whitecliffe BFA(Hons) students consolidate the learning and achievements of the BFA undergraduate study through the realisation of a sustained practice-based research inquiry to prepare students for professional life in the creative industries. Students often undertake the Honours qualification to develop foundations for further research in a higher degree, pathwaying into a Master of Fine Arts (or equivalent), or where conditions are met, directly into a Doctorate programme.

Students undertake two courses of study across two Semesters: Studio Research and Critical Contexts. Both courses work to develop and integrate contextual, theoretical, and studio-based learning centred on student's in-depth research projects. The BFA(Hons) programme culminates in a final exhibition or presentation of studio research outcomes and an accompanying written research summary.
