The Bachelor of Media (Screen and Sound Production) at the University of New South Wales is designed for students passionate about film, television, and audio forms of media. This programme provides in-depth knowledge and practical expertise in screen and sound production, equipping graduates to create compelling visual and audio stories for contemporary platforms. Through a combination of core and elective units, you will explore areas such as filmmaking, audio design, post-production, and critical media studies.
The degree typically runs over 3.5 years, structured by semesters. Students undertake a set number of units each term, accumulating credit points towards graduation. The curriculum incorporates both theoretical learning and hands-on production work, fostering technical skills in camera operation, editing, sound design, and script development. In the later stages, you will often engage in a capstone production project that synthesises your acquired skills and creative vision.
Work-integrated learning opportunities, such as industry placements, are encouraged where available, providing valuable professional experience and networking within Australia’s vibrant screen and sound industries. The course is well-suited to individuals aspiring to roles in film, television, audio production, or multimedia, and benefits from UNSW’s strong industry and research partnerships in Sydney, one of Australia’s leading media hubs.
Skills gained include visual storytelling, audio production, project management, teamwork, and technical proficiency with industry-standard equipment and software. Graduates are prepared to work independently or collaboratively in a range of media environments. Students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study, and may be eligible for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
