Australia’s only Bachelor of Circus Arts degree will recommence in 2025 thanks to a new partnership between the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) and Collarts, the Australian College of the Arts.
The Bachelor course has been an important stepping stone for many Australian circus artists, who would often enrol at NICA after earlier training at one of many youth circus schools around the country – or after a parallel career in gymnastics, dance and similar fields – before going on to have professional circus careers.
