Overview

This Creative Arts program from Deakin University will prepare you to be flexible across the creative jobs of the future.Want to push your creative practice to new heights?

The Master of Creative Arts allows you to focus your studies on one of six creative areas: animation and motion capture, dance, drama, photography, visual arts, or visual communication design. But that doesn’t mean your knowledge will be limited to your specialisation. Throughout the course, you will be studying complementary disciplines and practising alongside creative thinkers from different backgrounds, broadening your understanding of creativity and arming you with transferable skills that prepare you for any creative pursuit.

The multidisciplinary aspect of the course could see you specialising in dance while taking an elective unit in film writing, ultimately leading to the production of a dance film for your final creative project.

video, sound and multimedia production

consulting

Your skills will be sought-after in museums and galleries, all levels of government, boutique art companies and design agencies. You can also explore opportunities in festivals, community events and curatorial projects typically funded by government and philanthropic entities.
