Teaching and research
Adelaide is a hub for creative industries and festivals. At Flinders, we support our community of creatives who come from a wide range of creative disciplines. Drama, creative writing, screen and media creatives come together to make positive contributions to their own body of work, the arts industry and wider community.
Flinders University has a long and well-established reputation for supporting research-led creative arts in many forms. Our academics have made significant contributions to creative industry, grown government support and community recognition of the value of art and utilised art as a vehicle for important social change.
Staff and postgraduates have included award-winning novelists, theatre and film directions, screen and digital media practitioners and leaders in creative arts advocacy and industry.
Creatives interested in broadening their knowledge, experience and contributions to the arts can join us in areas of specialisation at Flinders University, including:
Assemblage is Flinders University’s research centre for artistic enquiry and art creation.
It is the meeting point of art and science, health, technology, engineering, industry and community. We embrace new technologies and ambitious collaborations to dissolve perceived barriers between artforms, disciplines and areas of research to uncover boundless possibilities.
