Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach to learning and assessment
The Graduate Certificate in Art in Public Space program takes an holistic approach to learning and assessment. You will develop capability through direct project work and integrating special areas of study. The educational philosophy of this program is to create agency, autonomy, flexibility and self-determination to ensure that you have a high quality learning experience and to help you develop activated professional networks in industry, government and community.
Our courses ensure that your assessment tasks are authentic and that you will develop the appropriate research skills required for an art in public space career. Some projects and opportunities are developed as block activities. This includes optional overseas project opportunities and an intensive program carried out each year in the month of March. Combining both small group and individual practice and encouraging collaborative feedback, you will learn in a cohesive and supportive environment. You are also able to participate in specialist seminars, master classes and workshops.
The Graduate Certificate in Art in Public Space program has a strong international focus, supported by projects undertaken both locally and overseas. The flexible structure of the program allows you to follow your professional needs and/or interests so that you can develop clear employment pathways upon graduation.
You will have 24-hour access to a dedicated studio space for your public art practice. Program lecturers are leaders in their fields, and you will have access to on-site projects that are developed with government, community organizations and industry partners.
If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.
If you have already developed areas of skill and knowledge included in this program (for example, through prior studies or work experience), you can apply for credit once you have enrolled in this program. There is information on the RMIT University website about how to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
