The Bachelor of Media (Media Production) [UNSW BMedia (MP)] is designed to provide you with foundational and applied skills, knowledge and capabilities relevant to career pathways in a wide range of media production and communication industries that rely on digital media. Students specialise in Media Production in a program which emphasises computer-based interactive and multimedia skills, focussing on established and emerging media forms and media innovation. The degree is both ideas driven and vocationally relevant in its orientation and all students are given significant practical experience in the thoughtful and creative applications of established and emerging computer-based media technologies. Students are also immersed in the culture and philosophy of media studies through their courses in the media core that provides theoretical contexts of contemporary media. Level 1 and Level 2 cover interactive and digital media production and contextual media studies. As students proceed into Level 3, the program expands and deepens knowledge and understanding in the technical, analytical and conceptual application of media technology to the design of various Media Production environments, as well as focussing on emerging trends and innovations in contemporary media practices. Some of the technologies currently addressed include: web and graphic design, animation; multimedia; and interactive virtual environments. The UNSW BMedia (MP) can be completed full-time in Single mode (normally 3 years), in Dual mode (the equivalent of two years full-time study) or part-time. The basic requirements of the program are simple. The BMedia (MP) has a depth component and a breadth component. Students enrolled in Single mode do both the depth and breadth component while students enrolled in Dual mode only complete the depth component.

The UNSW BMedia (MP) aims to prepare graduates for a leadership role in the thoughtful application of Media Production technologies informed by a solid understanding of media theory. In this program students are not simply skilled up in the use of computers and media applications, but are encouraged to become media innovators who are able to tackle complex issues by drawing on their integrated practical and theoretical expertise. Students become immersed in the current culture of contemporary media production. They are encouraged to test out emerging ideas and developments and look for novel ways to approach the design of the media such as web sites, games and other areas of the expanding contemporary media industry. Graduates will have expertise in a wide range of interactive and animation tools, but more importantly, they will be able to interpret and reflect on emerging media practices, enabling them to take leading creative roles in the rapidly changing media industries.
