A Bachelor of Design Arts (Visual Arts) at LCI Melbourne provides a unique opportunity to explore and express your creativity, collaborate with like-minded creative, and network with industry leaders.

LCI Melbourne offers a studio-based environment for Visual Arts Majors, where you’ll ultimately have your own onsite exhibition and work space. With a public gallery to showcase your work, a choice of sub-majors to complement your artistic aspirations, and real-world industry placements, you’ll be ready for a wide range of future professional opportunities based in the art world.

The Visual Arts program encourages you to explore and experiment with your creative nature, as well as allowing you to explore the many facets of the public and private art worlds. Through research, art history, traditional practice methods, and contemporary approaches to art in materials and process, we will support you towards realising your creative vision. The course cultivates an in-depth knowledge of national and international artists and their practice, creating a framework and context in which to locate your own emerging practice.
