This is a four-year full-time degree course, offered on the Hobart campus only, which may
also be studied part time. In the first year students study two first-year subjects from the

Course objectives
Over the four years of the degree, students complete the requirements for both the BA and
the BFA, by completing a major in the BA degree and either a studio major and a minor in
Art and Design Theory in the BFA or a major in Art History and Cultural Theory along
with studio-based and elective units to make up the remaining percentage.
