Course General Description

Curtin’s contemporary art and design courses will help you reach a higher level of expertise, through a combination of theory and project-based units. The university's flexible design and art postgraduate courses suit applicants with qualifications in design and art, as well as those with knowledge and expertise in other disciplines. The university offers a Graduate Certificate in Design and Art and a Master of Applied Design and Art. Because the first four units are common to both courses, you can enrol in the master degree and choose to exit at the graduate certificate level.
