We are fabulously excited to announce that you may now apply for our 2015 Bachelor of Visual Arts to be run in 2015 at Nepean Arts and Design Centre in partnership with Federation University.
TAFE NSW Diploma and Advanced Diplomas in Visual or Fine Arts provide your pathway to the Degree. Find out how to create your career below!
Option 1
I am a raw beginner. I think I may be creative, and I would like to
enrol in the Diploma of Visual Arts, but I am really not sure.
Come in and see us with some examples of artwork you have made if you have any- we will advise you on whether or not to enter the Diploma of Visual Arts, or whether to try one of our beginner courses first to build your skills and confidence.
Phone 9208 9484 to make your appointment.
Option 2
I have no prior visual arts qualifications, but I have been making art either at school or home, or elsewhere.
Come in and see us with a portfolio of 6-10 artworks you have made. We will assess your suitability for the Diploma of Visual Arts, or recommend a beginner course. The Diploma of Visual Arts can be studied full time (3 days per week) or part time (1.5 days per week), and is the first step on the pathway to a Bachelor of Visual Arts. You will complete your studies in one year full time, or two years part time. Phone 9208 9484 to make your appointment.
Option 3
I already hold a TAFE Diploma of Visual or Fine Arts.
Congratulations! You have completed the first rung on your Degree qualification ladder. The next step is to complete an Advanced Diploma of Visual Arts.
