Bachelor of Art History and Curating and Bachelor of Media Communication

The Bachelor of Art History and Curating and Bachelor of Media Communication offered by Monash University is an interdisciplinary programme that equips students with a deep understanding of the historical, cultural, and theoretical frameworks that underpin both fields. Over the four years of study, students will explore the complexities of art history, curatorial practices, and media communication, giving them the skills to critically engage with contemporary visual culture and media landscapes.

The programme is structured across eight semesters, with students completing a range of units that build on foundational knowledge and skills. Students will earn credit points for each unit completed, and will have the opportunity to undertake a capstone project or research thesis during their final year. This project enables students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in a practical context, synthesising their learning in real-world scenarios.

A significant aspect of the programme is the incorporation of work-integrated learning, which allows students to gain professional experience through placements in galleries, museums, media organisations, and other relevant industries. This hands-on approach ensures that graduates are work-ready and have a competitive edge in the job market.

This course is ideal for individuals who are passionate about the arts, culture, and communication, and wish to pursue a career in the creative industries. It is particularly suited for those interested in curatorial roles, media communication, and the intersection of these fields.
