Graduates of the Bachelor of Fine Arts (Production) have a tradition of high employment success. Graduates demonstrate capacities for artistic imagination, creativity, transformation and interpretation. They work at various levels, both as an individual and as a team member, in a wide variety of visual/performing arts environments including: work on large-scale events; major festivals; theatre, dance and music theatre productions. Students are encouraged to make links with other students both within Production, as well as in other artistic disciplines, which often lead to long-term collaborative partnerships. Most graduates become employed in the industry on a freelance basis, often initially in an assistant capacity, in their field of specialisation.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Production) develops collaborative skills and the ability to adapt them to a wide range of structures.
