AU234 Design (Common Entry) allows students to study common modules before choosing a specialist degree award options:

This programme is designed to provide students interested in Art & Design with an opportunity to study various subject areas before choosing a specialised field to pursue the career of their dreams. Students study common modules and have the flexibility to amend their area of specialisation after their first semester of study, subject to space availability.

Our Bachelor of Arts in Film & Media Production is designed for anyone who is passionate about a career in the Digital Film and Video industry. It can open up fantastic career options in one of the most exciting creative industries there is, and a future in television and film.

This programme covers the key areas of digital film production, including pre-production planning, story and script development, audio, design, special effects, compositing and editing.

An enterprise and entrepreneurship ethos is embedded in modules at the undergraduate level, and the course has an industry focus that engages traditional and emerging trends. Self-directed practice is a key component across a number of models, and being conscious of both an audience and the marketplace is fundamental.

Graduates emerge multi-skilled, and often find employment with film, media and design companies in diverse roles across pre and post-production.
