Bachelor of Communication - Media Arts Production

Behind every award winning program there is a team of talented and dynamic production professionals. The production team brings together the pieces of the program puzzle, endowing it with meaning, flow, and the power to move its audience. It is the production team that makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts.

The Media Arts Production major of the Bachelor of Communication degree gives you excellent production skills and knowledge, complete with practical, hands-on experience. You will study video scriptwriting, sound for video production, digital video camera, and post-production skills such as non-linear editing and visual effects.

With links to TVS (Television Sydney) station, internships, in-house production and editing studios, and project-based work with employers in the industry, the course gives you a real advantage in screen and television production. You are also encouraged to engage in workplace-related projects and produce a portfolio of final material.

What's more, you can choose to specialise in animation or a variety of other subjects (units) from our Bachelor of Design (Visual Communication) degree, giving you a unique combination of skills suited to careers in advertising agencies, film production, and animation studios, as well as major magazine publication houses.
