The world needs humanity
A journalist can bring hidden topics to the light. A screen artist can open up our minds, and our emotions. And an artist can provide us with a unique immersive experience.
Professionals in creative arts and communications help people to gain new perspectives and discover new understandings. From screen arts to journalism to digital design, you can use your imagination and skills to explore and reflect the human experience, and capture hearts and minds.

Brianna Dugan (former student)
“I completed a two-week internship, as a part of my course, at The West Australian. The Editor in Chief then offered me a full-time contract as a cadet reporter. If it wasn’t for that unit and that opportunity Curtin gave me, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today.”
