This major is only available to students undertaking the Bachelor of Visual Arts.

The Hybrid Art Practice major offers students the opportunity to study across a range of creative art disciplines at the ANU School of Art & Design. Students will undertake visual arts courses in two-dimensional and three-dimensional studio practice, along with digital and/or design courses, to prepare them with versatile, transferable knowledge and skills in interdisciplinary practice.
School of Art & Design studio courses have a limited enrolment capacity. Students are advised to enrol as early as possible to maximise the opportunity of securing a place.
