Program structure
The Bachelor of Creative Arts consists of 24 units. These are broadly divided into Discipline Majors (in Music, Theatre, Creative Media, or Visual Arts), Minors, Electives and one Core Course from the Faculty of Arts. Each creative arts Discipline offers 16 courses for students which is made up of 8 courses in Theory and 8 in Practice. Students may elect to do a full Discipline Major of 16 courses in one Discipline area or divide this into 2 Majors of 8 courses across 2 Discipline areas. Together with CMS1000 Communication and Scholarship, students should take one of the following combinations of elements:
-
16 unit Discipline Major + 1 Core Course + 7 unit Major in either another discipline in the Bachelor of Creative Arts or Faculty of Arts. This is the most ideal combination for students seeking to do the one year graduate diploma in teaching upon completion in order to become a secondary school teacher as it provides ample room for a second teaching area;
-
16 unit Discipline Major + 1 Core Course + 4 unit Minor + 3 Electives. This combination allows flexibility in choosing the best possible minor suite;
-
8 unit Discipline Major (Theory) + 8 unit Discipline Major (Practice) + 1 Core Course + 7 unit Major in the Bachelor of Creative Arts or Faculty of Arts;
-
8 unit Discipline Major (Theory) + 8 unit Discipline Major (Practice) + 1 Core Course + 4 unit Minor + 3 Electives. This allows for maximum flexibility.
Students will be advised to enrol in specific combinations of majors, minors and electives to enhance their opportunities for employment or further study. Further details of these combinations can be obtained from the relevant Program Coordinator. In some instances, however, combinations preferred by individual students may not be available due to quota, timetable or enrolment pattern constraints.

Core courses
All students must take the core course CMS1000 Communication and Scholarship. The recommended pattern for enrolment in this core course by full-time on-campus students is in semester 1 year 1. This pattern should only be varied with the permission of the Program Coordinator. There are an additional 3 School Core courses that all students undertaking the BCA are advised to enrol in throughout the third year of their degree: BCA3000 BCA Project A ; BCA3001 BCA Project B ; BCA3002 Arts Business Practice .
Major studies
A Major Study is a specified group of courses with a value of eight units. A major must have courses over three levels and contain at least two courses at third level. The following major studies are offered:
-
Creative Media
-
Music
-
Theatre
-
Visual Arts
Majors in the Bachelor of Creative Arts from outside the Faculty of Arts
Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Arts are able to take one major or minor/elective study from programs in other Faculties after consultation with the Program Coordinator.
For Bachelor of Creative Arts purposes, a major in these areas comprises seven units (7 courses + 1 Core Course = 8) of which at least two must be at Level 3. Enrolment in these majors is subject to pre-requisites, quota availability and timetabling constraints.
These majors may only be listed as a third major or minor/elective study, not as a first or second major.
Minor studies
Minor studies are designed to enable students to widen their knowledge and perspectives. Courses must be taken over two levels and should be in the same discipline or recognised multi-disciplinary area.
Students who take only two major studies must take one of the Minors indicated in the Minor studies section of this Handbook.
. All of the Discipline areas of the Creative Arts will offer suites of minors and electives from their existing Major course offerings. Students should take courses to the value of at least four units in the selected Minor Study. Choice of a Minor will depend on the availability of the subject area, timetabling constraints, quotas and other restrictions such as interviews in certain areas of the Creative Arts, as well as the approval of the Program Coordinator.
There are three suites of Minors that exist specifically to aid the delivery of performance content and outcomes for the School of Creative Arts. These are offered to students in 2nd and 3rd years after they have completed one full year of the BCA. These are:
| # | Entry into either the Acting or Stage Management minors are via an audition/interview that takes place at the end of the first year of study with a full major in Theatre (16 courses in Theatre). |
| * | Entry into the Music Ensemble Minor will be open to all students across the university. An interview and audition may be required upon consultation with the Program Coordinator. |
Elective courses
Elective courses are designed to enable students to further increase their knowledge and widen their perspectives. Choice of an elective will depend on the availability of the course(s), timetabling constraints, quotas, and other restrictions such as auditions and interviews in certain areas of the Arts, as well as approval by the Program Coordinator.
Courses available for elective study are generally those found in Minor studies and are listed in the Option studies section of this Handbook.
