The Bachelor of Media Arts (BMA) is an innovative, industry-aligned and research-active program that provides students with a strong foundation across contemporary creative media and technology production including animation, video, sound and image, interactive, emergent and cross media technologies and systems. UNSW Art & Design’s groundbreaking Media Arts program offers you hands-on experiences across a range of key media and audio-visual production areas including animation, VFX, interactive and cross media production and publication. The studio-based core of our Media Arts program is supported by theoretical studies that encourage critical thinking and contextualisation of creative practice. Our students are also welcome to undertake courses from UNSW’s highly regarded Fine Arts and Design programs. Students first take foundation studies in Media Arts before choosing their individual studio practice in the latter stages of the degree. Students complete their degree program by producing a production thesis at an Honours level. We provide you with an innovative, supportive, challenging and collaborative learning and teaching environment including access to Australia’s leading research labs in creative robotics, interactive and immersive cinema and 3D visualisation. SStudents produce their projects in our suite of state-of-the-art computer labs and sound and video studios. The BMA is a four-year full-time degree program (including Honours).
