Liveworm is an experience available to Queensland College of Art & Design students with studios at the South Bank and Gold Coast campuses.

Liveworm Electives

Undergraduate students can participate up to three times under the 10CP electives 3593QCA Liveworm 1, 3594QCA Liveworm 2, and 3595QCA Liveworm 3. Master of Design students can participate up to two times under the 10CP electives 7581QCA Liveworm 1, and 7582QCA Liveworm 2. Each elective course requires the completion of 100 hours of in-person studio practice, an online studio knowledge quiz, and a reflective journal assignment.

Liveworm groups operate in an intensive mode of 17 hours per week over six consecutive weeks. These courses are not traditionally timetabled — all students set their own studio timetables within a Monday–Friday 8am–6pm framework (this is organised on your first day). The studio also operates year-round, meaning that some groups run over Trimester breaks.

Liveworm is an open elective for Queensland College of Art and Design, Griffith University students. Undergraduate students should complete their foundation year of study (or have equivalent credit) before attempting Liveworm as it is highly recommended that you have some experience using the Adobe Creative Cloud software package. We are also open to accepting students from other degree programs within Griffith University, please contact the course convenor if you would like to know more.

To gain permission to enrol in the Liveworm electives, you will need to first secure your place by filling in the below form. Positions are allocated via a first-come-first-served process and advertised via the Visual Communication Design Community Teams page. If you have any questions about Liveworm, please contact Hannah Ison, Course Convenor.
