Y72 Bachelor of Creative Industries

The Bachelor of Creative Industries is designed to meet the challenges of employment (including self-employment) within the context of an emerging creative economy. The Creative Industries form an increasingly important component of the global economy, focused upon the creation and exploitation of intellectual property across a range of disciplines including Film, Design, Digital Media and Photography. Students will research and develop original products that impact on audiences and address practical outcomes for users.  The course enables students to develop the technical and general skills that make them ready for employment and enable them to develop along with the Creative Industries themselves. Graduates will have an informed, critical and creative approach to understanding media, design and visual culture within a rapidly evolving social and work environment.
