Student Profile

Charlotte North

Bachelor of Art Theory (Honours)

Charlotte North
Charlotte North.

Charlotte North was attracted to COFA by the diverse range of courses offered under the Bachelor of Art Theory degree. This allowed her to focus on more specialised interests while achieving a broad knowledge in modern and contemporary art. “Courses at COFA cover so much more than art; lecturers often introduce students to a period’s political, social and economic climate" and, she insists, "learning how these conditions have had a bearing on developments in art has been invaluable”

In 2010, Charlotte travelled to London where she worked as a Specialist at Sotheby’s, a role which enabled her to travel across Europe. She believes her time at COFA prepared her for this experience. Having achieved a scholarship to complete her Honours year, Charlotte intends to eventually undertake a PhD in art theory.
