When you study a Bachelor of Creative Arts Honours you will acquire the ability to research independently, apply theory, and develop creative and academic expertise in your chosen fields.
A Bachelor of Creative Arts (Honours) is different to a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Creative Industries in that the honours component will build upon your existing creative arts knowledge by giving you the opportunity to apply practical and theoretical knowledge to independent research.
UniSQ’s Bachelor of Creative Arts Honours is designed to help you develop as a creative researcher and learn how to apply theses skills in the work force. UniSQ Creative Arts alumni have gone onto to record an album of original music, develop a script for a film, write a solo work for theatre, and prepare an article for publication based on their research.
