The employment opportunities for graduates are varied, with most going on to specialise in varying production roles. These roles are usually related to the camera, sound and post-production/editing. Graduates also take on roles as directors, writers, producers, social media content creators, editors, sound recordists, special effects supervisors, production managers, and as videographers.

To complete a Bachelor of Communications and Media with a Film and Screen Production Major, you will study 24 courses, eight of which will form the Major. Normally you will take at least one course from your Major in each semester. Most Majors build sequentially in content, theme and skills and work towards the acquisition of advanced skills and knowledge by the completion of your third year of study.

You may also choose to use eight elective courses to study a Second Major in another discipline or six elective courses to study a Minor in another discipline. Then you’ll have four or six more electives that you can select from any courses in the School of Arts & Sciences, providing you meet the pre-requisites that may apply.
