Bachelor of Screen Media (Arts and Production)

Students have access to a $2 million, purpose-built media studio at Parramatta South Campus, including a TV studio fully fitted with multi-cameras, green-screen and professional lighting, edit suites, large Mac labs, and a loan store to borrow equipment for shooting content at any location. As an Adobe Creative Campus, Western Sydney University also gives all students complimentary access to the Adobe Creative Cloud apps.

Students can choose complementary subjects in either Journalism or Design. The Journalism stream is suited to those interested in creating short or long-form documentaries, while the Design stream is for those interested in creating interactive online experiences, apps and game design. Both streams complement the skills and knowledge developed in screen media subjects, further enhancing career opportunities.

Western Sydney University has built a network of industry partners who contribute to program content and provide internship opportunities. Partners include media channels such as SBS, BBC, ABC and Channels 7, 9, and 10, production houses such as CJZ (Cordell, Jigsaw, Zapruder) and Elastic Studios, innovative tech companies producing immersive and interactive content, community organisations like Curious Works, and film festivals such as Antenna and Made in the West.

From Day 1, students start building their portfolio with content created in class, so that by the time they graduate, they will have a rock-solid showcase of their work to impress potential employers. The program also provides opportunities to work on real community and industry projects, further strengthening the portfolio.

The indicative annual fee for domestic students is from $11,885. This is for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), which is subsidised by the Commonwealth Government, meaning the Australian Government pays part of your fees towards your program. Fee estimates are indicative only and subject to change based on subjects chosen, duration and timing of study, and annual fee adjustments. These estimates do not include the Student Services and Amenities Fee.
