About

Overview

Explore the core disciplines of digital media and its place in society.

With a clear focus on design, the Bachelor of Design (Digital Media) offers you the opportunity to explore diverse aspects of media, and gain a strong digital media literacy.

Combining theory with practical industry-based knowledge, you will develop a digital media design specialisation in interactive media, digital video, digital sound, or digital environments.

You'll explore fields including:

web and app design
visual effects, compositioning, and motion graphics
interactive mobile media design
sound design
virtual and augmented reality
projection and digital installations.

You will gain a solid grounding in contemporary digital media design theory and practice, and will explore how digital content can be planned, produced, applied and integrated.

The knowledge and skills you will acquire throughout this degree and how they can be applied in your career are described in the learning outcomes.

Electives and course plan

You will be introduced to a range of digital media fields and then specialise in either Interactive, Digital Video, Sound or Digital Environments.

Year 1

Learn about digital media via a comprehensive overview of its theory and practice. You will learn the foundations of graphic and digital media design, as well as strategies for understanding of digital media platforms, providing a navigation point used in later years of specialisation.

Year 2

You will study advanced theories, ideas and concepts of digital media design while gaining advanced skills in your area of specialisation. The focus will be on studio practice.

Year 3

You will complement your skills and knowledge with a focus on industry by way of specialisation with an emphasis of individual, collaborative and conceptual development. You will undertake an internship or studio project in the final semester that will allow you to demonstrate a what you have learned over the previous years of study.
