The Bachelor of Visual Arts (BVA) is an undergraduate program that nurtures creative talent, technical ability, and conceptual thinking across visual art practices. Typically lasting three to four years, the course blends studio-based practice with art history, aesthetics, and critical theory. Students learn to make deliberate, idea-driven work across both traditional and digital media — from painting and sculpture to animation, photography, and multimedia design.
The course aims to produce versatile visual professionals who can work as artists, designers, animators, photographers, art educators, or continue on to postgraduate studies such as an MFA or design program.
Why parents should consider BVA for their child
Career flexibility — graduates work in creative studios, media houses, education, advertising, gaming, film VFX, or start independent art practices.
Skill-building — students gain marketable digital skills (animation, design software) as well as traditional craft.
Critical thinking — the program emphasizes concept development and communication — useful in many non-art fields too.
Portfolio and industry exposure — internships, exhibitions, and collaborative projects prepare students for real-world work.
Entrepreneurial pathways — many artists earn through freelance design, commissions, teaching, prints, and digital products.
The Bachelor of Architecture is a five-year undergraduate program designed for students who are passionate about design and who want to use their imagination to solve real-world problems. It is not like a typical classroom-based course where you only learn through textbooks and exams. Instead, it is a blend of hands-on design, technical training, and practical exposure. Students in B.Arch programs spend a lot of their time in design studios, where they work on projects that require them to develop original concepts, analyze real sites, and consider how buildings interact with their surroundings. These projects often take inspiration from cultural heritage, modern lifestyles, or the urgent need for sustainable solutions to address climate change.
One of the unique aspects of B.Arch is how it brings together art and science. Students who come from a science background often find that their knowledge of physics, mathematics, and technology helps them understand structural stability, materials, and engineering aspects of design. On the other hand, students from arts backgrounds often bring strong creative instincts, a sense of aesthetics, and an ability to think outside the box. Both skill sets are valuable because architecture needs a balance between creativity and practicality. While commerce students do not usually find a direct entry path into B.Arch programs, those who are passionate about design and have artistic inclinations, can explore foundation courses or related fields before considering architecture.
