Handbook

The Bachelor of Media Arts (BMA) is a three-year program (equivalent full-time) that prepares students to thrive in a variety of media arts contexts. In a world of rapidly changing digital technologies, the BMA recognises the need for imaginative, informed, and critically-oriented media practitioners now and into the future. With a focus on developing skills and knowledge across a range of digital, interactive, and screen-based media, the BMA allows students to experiment with a variety of media technologies, platforms, and ideas. Whether working with video, sound, digital imaging, 3D modelling, animation, or interactive and immersive technologies, BMA students are given opportunities to explore their individual interests within a supportive and peer-oriented learning environment. Bolstered by studies in media arts histories and theories, BMA students simultaneously develop their creative and critical thinking skills within the domain of digital media. Graduates of this program are not only technically adept, they are also imaginative, responsive, and critically informed, enabling them to undertake careers across the entertainment, art and design, creative media, and technology industries. Through deep understandings of theory and practice, graduates are equipped to creatively respond to and lead to the mediated experiences of the future.
