At the School of Creative Industries, we are animators, communicators, musicians, performers, artists, designers and so much more.
Our precinct in the Newcastle CBD – comprised of NUspace, the Conservatorium of Music, University House and Northumberland House (Watt Space Gallery) – provides state-of-the-art facilities to more than 2,000 students.
We deliver innovative experiences across design, filmmaking, animation, music, journalism, dance, drama, games design, and art. Our School also offers music production suites, performing arts and visual communication spaces, and cutting-edge design and creative arts facilities.
Creative Industries students produced the official music video for The Living End’s new single ‘Not Like The Other Boys’ and have worked with BMG artists Dune Rats and Hockey Dad.
At the School of Creative Industries, we offer a range of undergraduate, postgraduate and research higher degree programs.
Muswellbrook Shire Council tasked five students from the University of Newcastle to present this year's festival.
From track-side operations to event marketing, television, public relations and communications – it's a chance for our students to put theory into practice.
Research in the School of Creative Industries reflects the creative, dynamic and multimedia-oriented nature of the areas of communication, creative arts, design, music and natural history illustration.
Our researchers benefit from working across disciplines in ways that enable more complex approaches to broader areas of study and practice.
