Join a creative community of emerging artists, designers and art historians and discover your creative talents.

You'll have the opportunity to study art history overseas, at the Venice Biennale, in Paris or at our Rome campus, developing local and international networks and expanding your global outlook. Your work will be exhibited in our ACU gallery spaces over the course of your degree and you'll get real-world experience through professional practice and an industry internship.
