Deakin University
Master of Creative Arts
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationThe Master of Creative Arts allows you to focus your studies on one of six creative areas: animation and motion capture, dance, drama, photography, visual arts, or visual communication design. But that doesn’t mean your knowledge will be limited to your specialisation.
Throughout the course, you will be studying complementary disciplines and practising alongside creative thinkers from different backgrounds, broadening your understanding of creativity and arming you with transferable skills that prepare you for any creative pursuit.
The multidisciplinary aspect of the course could see you specialising in dance while taking an elective unit in film writing, ultimately leading to the production of a dance film for your final creative project.
While core study areas will be tailored to your specialisation, there are common threads throughout each pathway that set you up to be a versatile creative practitioner. Build transferable skills that employers value, like imaginative thinking, problem solving and creative collaboration, and discover what it takes to be adaptable and resourceful – two key attributes of the modern creative.
