In the Bachelor of Visual Arts at ANU, students develop and refine high-level technical and creative skills, and knowledge for working with the forms, materials and technologies of their chosen studio discipline.  The degree features majors in Ceramics, Digital Media, Furniture, Glass, Gold and Silversmithing, Painting, Photomedia, Printmedia and Drawing, Sculpture, and Textiles. Students also have the opportunity to study in complementary areas such as life drawing, bookmaking, etching, papermaking, and screen printing.  The degree also prepares students to work independently and collaboratively to plan and participate in exhibitions of their creative works. 

Visual arts students are able to take advantage of the close proximity of the ANU School of Art to the National Gallery of Australia, the National Portrait Gallery, ScreenSound Australia, the National Library of Australia, the National Museum of Australia, and the Canberra Museum and Gallery, with some classes held in one or more of those institutions. 

The Bachelor of Music is a three year degree with majors in Music Practice (Performance, Jazz Performance, Composition, and associated practice-based areas such as ensemble performance, aural skills, music pedagogy, music technology, conducting, choral studies, and non-western music performance) and Music Inquiry (critical, theoretical, analytical and inquiry-based approaches to the interpretation and understanding of classical and popular western and non-western music). Students may take a broadly-based program of study or elect to strongly specialize in one or two areas.  Students may complete majors in Music Practice, Music Inquiry, or both – the minimum requirement is a completion of a major in one area and at least a minor in the other.

Admission Requirements

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.
