The Bachelor of Media Studies (BMS) is a four-year, direct-entry program that prepares students for careers in digital media creation.
The foundation of the program is the opportunity for students to experiment with ideas and the newest technologies in a team-based environment, with a focus on innovation in digital-media design. The program is designed for students looking towards a future in creative and cultural industries, and to continue their education in design, art, and academics as postgraduates.
The degree in Media Studies combines digital media arts, visual art, media studies, social science and humanities to help you become a creative, articulate, culturally informed, critically reflective and socially engaged citizen.
