Why study this degree at UWA

The Bachelor of Art History and Curatorial Studies is the first and only degree of its kind offered in Western Australia. By combining art historical knowledge with curatorial methods and techniques, this degree equips students with a variety of career pathways, including arts management, museum and gallery curation, as well as art criticism and analysis. Though focused on art history and its curatorial applications, this degree also cultivates transferrable skills in visual and spatial analysis, critical thought, and oral and written communication. Offering distinct opportunities for foreign study, industry placements, and object-based learning, this degree activates Art History through hands-on experience in the field and engagement with exhibitions and curatorial institutions.

Bachelor of Arts features diverse majors from music and design to law, humanities and social sciences. This degree provides students with the lifelong, transferable skills that employers are seeking, giving an immediate competitive edge in the employment market.

Combining these degrees provides the opportunity for high achieving students with specific interests and strengths in the Humanities and Social Sciences to achieve both degrees within a four year study period.
