Creative and Cultural Futures

Overview

Based in Canberra, with access to the city’s major cultural institutions and vibrant creative community, your experiential learning will be enriched and enlivened thanks to these close links and through research-led teaching from the Faculty’s internationally recognised Centre for Creative and Cultural Research. 

Rather than focusing solely on current workplace needs, this diploma will expand your thinking around critical issues, such as access, audiences, impact, innovation and leadership, meaning you’ll be well-placed to take up positions of influence across a range of fields, including digital media arts, film production, community arts, creative writing, global studies, cultural policy and planning, heritage and conservation, and the galleries, libraries, archives, museums and records (GLAMR) sector. Progression from this course to the Master of Arts in Creative and Cultural Futures is available by enrolling in additional units.

Study a Graduate Diploma in Heritage Materials Conservation at University of Canberra and you will:

• reflect critically on contemporary issues for the cultural and creative sectors

• apply professional knowledge and skills, and key techniques and approaches, relevant to a specific area of creative and cultural practice

• work independently and collaboratively to develop creative solutions to real-world problems and develop entrepreneurial approaches to implement these solutions

• evaluate and apply strategies for cultural leadership and communication across a range of professional and community contexts.
