Media Arts
UAC Code: 754608
Media Arts explores the contemporary field of experimental media practice which links traditional media production to emerging tendencies in creative computing. This major will provide skills, understanding and experience in this exciting new field of creative practice. The first year establishes a foundation in media and computation. The second year focuses on digital cinema and approaches to interaction (in games, networked media and electronic installation). The final year has a professional project-based emphasis. Students research and produce portfolio work in a specialised field of Media Arts Practice.
Specific Entry Requirements

The application must include photographs of up to four of the applicant's most recent artworks. If selected for an interview, applicants must bring a portfolio of their work. Original work is required.
