Bachelor of Media Arts

The Bachelor of Media Arts is an innovative degree that puts you at the cutting-edge of digital and media development.

You'll develop the technical knowledge and experience needed to enter the exciting world of screen production and content creation. While you study you will develop the skills and contacts you need for a successful career in the creative industries; graduating with a digital portfolio of work and practical industry experience.

You also have the opportunity to specialise in visual effects in your third year of study at world-renowned VFX studio, Rising Sun Pictures where you will study alongside industry professionals and mentors.

If you finish your degree with a credit or higher grade point average (GPA) you could be eligible for the one-year Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree.

You could also continue your studies with a Master of Teaching and teach media arts. If this interests you, please read How Do I Become a Teacher before selecting your courses.

If you would like to apply directly into the Bachelor of Media Arts/Master of Teaching (Secondary) package option, please apply via SATAC using 444531.

Throughout the degree, you will explore theory and practice combining traditional and digital forms required by industry. You will gain an understanding in all stages of the professional production cycle from conceptualisation and script writing, through to production and post-production.

You will analyse film and media from around the globe to gain insight into different creative contexts, forms and practices. Develop professional knowledge in screenwriting and the production of documentary, experimental and narrative film and television, VFX, and website development, while understanding different media platforms and the end-user experience.

You will engage with industry leaders across all disciplines, work on real-world projects and use the latest production software and technologies, graduating career-ready with your own portfolio of production work, showcasing your practical skills and creativity across a variety of media forms. If you are interested in specialising in VFX, you will have the opportunity to apply for a placement with Rising Sun Pictures, studying the entire third year of your degree at their studio located in the CBD and working alongside world-class VFX artists.

You'll work autonomously and collaboratively throughout the degree - just like in industry across a range of different roles, preparing you for a move into national and international industries when you graduate.
