Bachelor of Creative Arts - English

Australian Catholic University

Allow yourself the freedom to explore your creative side while developing the skills and experience to prepare for an ever-changing jobs market. You don’t need an extensive portfolio to apply and you won’t go through a gruelling audition process, just be ready to explore a range of creative arts that foster flexible and innovative thinking, promote creative solutions and explore self-expression. Throughout your degree you’ll have the opportunity to exhibit your skills to the public through exhibitions, publications and performances, and take up overseas study opportunities and work within local communities. Then in your final year, you’ll complete a major creative project in your chosen art form, whether it’s communication, creative writing, design and technologies, drama, English, graphic design, media, music, or visual arts.Through the study of a broad range of literary texts and approaches to reading them, the English major sequence familiarises you with literary traditions and contemporary literary cultures. This major sequence will reveal the varied ways in which people have lived, thought, felt and imagined, opening up new worlds of understanding. You will develop vital transferrable skills in effective reading, writing, analysis and interpretation that will equip you for a rewarding career in teaching, journalism, the media, or other professions that require articulate and culturally literate graduates.
