QCA application deadlines
Application deadline for courses
Semester 1 (Feb-June) - 9th December
Semester 2 (July-Nov) - 1st June
Due to class limits, the opportunity to re-select courses after these dates is limited. If you wish to study solely at QCA please select courses from no more than two disciplines to avoid timetabling clashes (e.g. photography and design or fine arts and art). Students wishing to enrol in any courses from Fine Arts and Photography, including introductory courses, must submit a portfolio with their application.
QCA portfolio requirements
Applicants should submit 25-30 photographs or original works such as drawings, designs, paintings, prints or collages. This work should demonstrate drawing skills, imagination, innovation, or experimentation with process most appropriate to the field you wish to study.
Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University
If you want to apply for courses offered by QCGU as part of a major study (South Bank campus), selection is based on your performance in an audition, interview, and any tests of musical knowledge and abilities administered by QCGU after your arrival.
QCGU portfolio requirements
Instrumental and vocal applicants should submit an audition tape or video tape consisting of 3 contrasting pieces of approximately 15 minutes total.
Composition applicants should submit a portfolio of three or more of their own compositions. The compositions should be reasonable length, depending upon the nature and context of the composition - around 30 bars or more, or 1 or more minutes.
