The Master of Arts (Visual Arts) by Coursework degree requires students to complete 16 courses totalling 96 units. The full-time load for one semester's coursework is four courses (24 units). A candidate's program may be tailored to meet a variety of interests through structuring a study pathway through a mix of Studio Practice courses, Core and additional Theoretical courses, and Fieldwork and Research courses. The latter may be undertaken in the between-semester breaks.

Studio Practice courses will be conducted through individually supervised and directed project work. Additional Theoretical courses will be conducted in conjunction with existing Honours level courses, with a higher level of output and assessed at a graduate level. Individual programs of study may vary in their structure within given requirements. Fieldwork and Research courses may be conducted either as Group Projects (subject to student numbers and availability or resources), or through individually supervised and directed project work.
