Bachelor of Creative Media
Murdoch University, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
The Bachelor of Creative Media covers media production and creative practice before students focus on an area of interest. Majors include Games Art and Design, Graphic Design, Photography, Screen Production and Sound Design, covering areas such as animation, 3D modelling and concept art, design for mobile or virtual reality platforms, and film, television, documentary and digital storytelling. Students build a professional portfolio through projects such as games, apps, videos, design work and screen productions, and the course also covers the commercial and ethical dimensions of the media industry. Applicants who do not meet the ATAR entry requirement can apply through the Media Portfolio Pathway by submitting examples of creative work. Creative media and design roles are largely absent from Australia's skilled occupation lists, so this degree is a weaker standalone pathway to a points-based skilled visa. This course is delivered by Murdoch University in Western Australia.
