Certificate in Arts and Design

This programme focuses on practical projects and broad understanding of visual arts and design issues, supported by conceptual content and knowledge. This ensures that students develop appropriate thinking skills and can manage projects/briefs under broad guidance; and gain a broad base of art and design-related knowledge so they are equipped with the learning strategies, attitudes and skills for further tertiary study and/or entry-level employment in the field.

Graduates will produce a portfolio and gain a broad knowledge of art and design-related subjects to ensure they are equipped with the learning strategies, attitudes and self-management skills for further tertiary study and or entry-level vocations. The programme also provides an opportunity for those not wishing to continue with further formal academic study to explore their artistic skills in a creative environment. Students who enrol in this programme have varying levels of ability, ranging from complete novices to those who have some experience.
