The Grad Certificate is an entry level graduate program aimed at students who have completed an approved program in a visual arts area and who wish to further their studies.  Alternately, it provides an entry point for students with a non-cognate degree wanting to develop expertise in an arts related area. It provides a basis for a career as a practicing artist or employment in an arts related area or prepares students for further graduate study.  Students wishing to pursue further study  can apply to transfer and complete a further 24 units, exiting at Graduate Diploma level, or, apply for admission to the Master of Visual Arts on completion of the Certificate.

The Certificate provides an introduction to visual arts practice based methodologies through a combination of both theoretical and practical instruction.  Students are encouraged to apply course material to their own research/practice interests and to develop an understanding of the relationship of their own practice to practice in the field more generally.
