Bachelor of Media (Educational Media)

Are you excited by digital technology and its enormous potential to enhance learning? Educational media specialists play a crucial role in helping educational and other organisations deliver innovative content to engage, inform and inspire.

Opportunities in the field are increasing worldwide. Our Bachelor of Media (Educational Media) puts them firmly within your reach.

The degree prepares you for career success in two key, complementary ways.

One, it gives you a broad understanding of the principles of learning, including through the use of digital storytelling and online learning platforms. Two, it provides the digital technology skills to create and/or manage a range of media for enhanced learning effectiveness.

Depending on your career aspirations and course choices, you could also gain:

• capabilities in the design and development of educational VR (virtual reality) applications
• complementary 3D imaging skills
• a sound grasp of narrative-driven gaming
• deep insight into contemporary educational issues, such as inclusivity
• knowledge of education design cultures and aesthetic principles

And you'll have the opportunity to gain invaluable real-world experience through an industry placement with an organisation that builds and uses educational media.

Where could it take you? You might help museum visitors digitally explore deep-sea life. You could bring the forces of extreme weather to life for eager young minds in a science discovery centre. Perhaps you'll find high-impact new ways for schools or universities to teach Indigenous knowledge systems developed over millennia.

Please note, however, that this degree will not qualify you to register or practise as a teacher.
