Bachelor
At RMIT you'll be immersed in fine art studios, where you'll gain the confidence and the tools to understand and interpret the world around you through art. Studios are taught by high-profile practising artists who exhibit locally and internationally, so you can connect with what's happening in the art world.
RMIT's teaching style is centered around you as an individual. You'll receive personal mentoring that challenges and pushes you to discover and form your own art practice or specialisation.
Studios are complemented by studies in art history, theories and cultures, and in the professional skills you'll need to succeed in the arts and creative industries.
