pedagogical contexts, including vocational and creative practice, as 
well as traditional humanities and social sciences backgrounds.

Media Studies is offered as a major in both the Bachelor Arts and

currently includes courses across three major areas of specialisation: 
digital media production, social/cultural approaches to media, and

graduate programme is available in the Master of Arts and Master of 
Communication, and offers a selection of courses in the above areas.
