Creative Arts Minor Studies
Creative Arts offers a range of minor studies open to all undergraduate students provided they meet pre-requisites where required. Students from other faculties are encouraged to enrol in Creative Arts minor studies to satisfy the elective requirements of their course, where appropriate.
For students in the Bachelor of Creative Arts, selecting a minor study is an opportunity to undertake a multidisciplinary course of study. Please note that students may not enrol in a major and minor study in the same discipline. Subjects taken as part of a major or minor cannot be cross-counted into any other major or minor.
Minors do not appear on the testamur but do appear on the transcript (i.e. academic record). Students are reminded that to have a minor study recorded they must declare their minor study by submitting an Application to Declare or Change Intended Major/Minor.

Each minor study comprises 24 credit points.
Creative Arts offers minor studies in the following areas:
