The Bachelor of Arts in New Media Arts is designed to prepare graduates for careers in the burgeoning field of new media arts and performance. What is unique about this offering is the breadth and integrated nature of its offerings:  from Interactive Digital Media to Documentary Film; from Directing for the Camera to New Music. 

While the degree is founded upon a marriage of the arts with design, application and performance, the degree also rests upon a firm technological base.  Throughout, the BA(NMA) emphasizes creativity and professional application.  The degree cross-cuts many disciplines which are often segregated in separate faculties.

Admission Requirements

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.
