Study Visual Arts

The visual arts course at QUT provides a focused education in modern and contemporary art practices as preparation for professional careers in the broad field of creative visual culture. Visual artists today are equally at home in experimental studio practice; working in film, video and other digital media; operating as independent visual designers; as art teachers; or in a variety of roles in galleries and museums.

Students who study visual arts are encouraged to explore independent approaches to art practice across a variety of media. There is an emphasis on innovative thinking and a strong conceptual approach. This allows you to tailor your training to your career aspirations.

Career Outcomes

Many of our graduates become highly successful practising artists who are represented by commercial galleries and have strong careers in the commissioned and public funding sectors. With specialist training in a related field, our graduates also take up positions as creative directors, visual designers and a range of other occupations in the creative industries sector. If taken in combination with a Graduate Diploma in Education (Senor Years), you can become a qualified teacher.
