Continuing Education Short Courses

COFA Short Courses are presented in several packages:

1.  Evening and Saturday Classes
Autumn and Spring Programs are mainly held in the evenings or on Saturdays during academic sessions. They are suitable for those who enjoy classes over a longer period. There are no autumn shortcourses in 2010.

2. Weekday Classes
Summer and Winter Programs are held Mondays to Fridays during the day within the university and school vacation periods. These programs are suitable for people who prefer intensive modes of learning, and for those living outside of Sydney. There are no summer shortcourses in 2010.

Please read the information  on 2010 programs in future courses.

COFA Short Courses are ideal for:

• the general public
  
• tertiary and HSC students
• designers
• media artists
• art historians
  
• art educators

The UNSW COFA Continuing Education courses are non-accredited and therefore participants do not receive formal assessment and UNSW Units of Credit. All participants who satisfactorily complete the course receive a UNSW ‘Certificate of Completion' signed by the Dean of the College of Fine Arts.

In most instances COFA Short Courses welcome beginners through to professional artists and designers.


other opportunities for study

COFA Continuing Education has teamed with COFA Online ~enrich to encourage students from a workshop environment to undertake further studies online, and vice versa. In the past, COFA Continuing Education students have been invited to participate in Drawing & Painting for Design, Poster Design, Shibori and Felting. This advice will be updated soon.

Continuing Education students can now participate in the academic General Education courses if there are vacancies. The UNSW COFA Continuing Education courses are non-accredited and therefore participation in 'General Education' subjects do not receive formal assessment and UNSW Units of Credit. Apart from this the experience will be exactly the same as for an undergraduate student and you will be issued with a UNSW ‘Certificate of Completion' as per above. There are a limited number of places in General Education courses for Continuing Education students, so if initially you are unable to gain a place, we will put your name on a wait-list, because places frequently become available before classes start.
