Studying your HSC at Bradfield allows you to specialise in the creative industries, study in an adult learning environment and choose from academic or vocational subjects.
Depending on your personal circumstances it may be possible to study the HSC as a pathways student. This is where you take a smaller number of subjects each year over a period of 2-5 years.
If you're passionate about the creative industries and want to study a subject not offered at your school come to Bradfield for great courses such as Contemporary Visual Art, Dance, Multimedia and Software Design and Development.
