As part of a connected community of practitioners and researchers, the School of Creative Practice brings together a range of creative practice disciplines, providing students with the opportunity to engage in transdisciplinary approaches to their learning or research.
Our range of practice-led or practice-based programs are internationally renowned for their innovative, creative and commercial contributions to creative industries and broader industry fields. Our courses provide a ‘space to create’, where technical proficiency is combined with learning how to make meaning and be collaboratively fluent, socially engaged and agile practitioners.
