Access to the UQ Art Museum will add another dimension to your creative learning.

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.
