Associate of Arts (Art and Design)

The Associate of Arts (Art and Design) is structured to provide students with the foundation for careers in Fine Arts and Graphic Design, while keeping pace with current career trends. Without limiting students to the traditional components, such as drawing and painting, the programme includes courses in colour, graphic design, and media arts. Traditional courses, such as Introduction to Drawing and Two- and Three-Dimensional Design, now include computer components.
