Visual Arts and Design Program
Welcome to the Visual Arts and Design Program
The Visual Arts and Design program operates on two campuses
of La Trobe University, Bendigo and Mildura.
Aligned with the excellent academic programs, students have
generous access to specialist studios and equipment. The Visual
Arts and Design degrees aim to provide students with a quality
environment for learning and research, developing aesthetic appreciation
and design skills with an emphasis on individualism, whilst at
the same time offering the opportunity to expand technical expertise
across a broad range of media.

tertiary level and yet do not wish to enrol in a full degree? If it
is not possible because of time, work or other constraints to attempt
a full degree course you may undertake units in any of the studios or
in Art and Visual Culture. These units are offered on a fee for service
basis which represents excellent value, with full access to facilities
including after-hours, and you may use passes in these units to contribute
credits to a degree should you wish later to enrol in one.
