Prahran is known as Swinburne’s ‘arts
campus’, since it houses a number of
arts areas including the National
Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) and the
renowned Faculty of Design, which
offers a range of graphic, industrial,
interior/exhibition and multimedia
design courses at undergraduate and
postgraduate level. At the TAFE level it
also has graphic design, multimedia
design, costume, performing arts and
makeup courses. Prahran also has a
range of programs in business, social
sciences, and hospitality.
This is one of Swinburne’s dual sector
campuses, meaning that it provides
both TAFE and university programs.
