COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Creative Media is structured to total 72 credit points and begins with the core unit Foundation in Creative Media, which provides an essential introduction to creative practice. Students then choose two first-year Media and Communication units outside their major to broaden their understanding of the creative industries. An industry-focused unit is also required, with options including Consulting and Freelancing, Client Consultancy, or a Creative Media Professional Placement, giving students early exposure to real-world creative work. As they progress, students complete a second or third-year specified elective, which can be chosen freely as long as prerequisite requirements are met. In the final stages of the degree, students undertake a capstone experience tailored to their major: Games Art and Design and Screen Production students complete Creative Media Projects 1 and 2, while Graphic Design, Photography and Sound Design students complete Creative Media Projects 3 and 4. The major itself contributes 24 credit points and may be in Games Art and Design, Graphic Design, Photography, Screen Production or Sound Design. Students also complete a Discovery unit to broaden their academic perspective and have 24 credit points of options to personalise their degree. These options may include a second major, one or two minors, or individual elective units. Recommended minors such as Design Thinking, Entertainment Technology, Media Analysis, Podcasting, Photography, Science Communication, Social Media, Screen Sound or User Experience Design can complement a student’s primary area of study. General electives are also available, allowing students to further tailor their degree to their interests and career goals. This flexible structure allows students to build strong creative, technical and industry-aligned capabilities while shaping a study pathway that suits their aspirations.
