See the world through different eyes and understand the evolving values of visual cultures by using a range of different approaches.
In this major, you'll develop strong visual literacy and gain a broad knowledge of art traditions.
Access to the UQ Art Museum will add another dimension to your creative learning.
You'll be prepared for employment in private galleries and public art institutions, or you could become an arts writer, curator, education officer or registrar.
Career possibilities
Our programs prepare you for your first job and beyond. Here are some of the careers you could be on your way to:
- Gallery director
- Museum operations manager
- Senior curator
- Art therapist
- Gallery curator
- Artistic director
The opportunity provided by UQ Art Museum allowed our proposals come to life, and during this time, I gained confidence in my curatorial intuition and witnessed the scope and diversity of the UQ Art Museum team in action.
When I decided on the field of study I wanted to do – Media and Digital Cultures – I found out that UQ has one of the best curricula in this area. That intrigued me to enrol in UQ.
