VATHR1011 VISUAL CULTURE - AN INTRODUCTION
This course introduces students to the study of visual culture. Concepts such as creativity, presentation and mediation will be considered along with an investigation of critical writing and visual critique. The historical and aesthetic characteristics of artworks and works of design produced during selected artistic periods will be utilised to demonstrate how and why we create, value and engage with art. Students are expected to develop a range of critical, analytical and research skills.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
