This major focuses on the continuous evolution of media technologies and industries.
It also covers the interactive and data-driven platforms that now form the basis of everyday media infrastructure, significant domains of cultural production such as news and television, and the role media plays in the formation of identity.
You'll learn a combination of critical analytic, research, production, management and planning skills related to contemporary media industries.
Graduates will be candidates for work in the media industries, as well as the expanding array of organisations that have in-house media production and management.

The best thing about my program was the flexibility. I majored in Digital Media and International Relations. Digital Media was one of the best parts of my program because technology will shape the jobs of the future.
When I decided on the field of study I wanted to do – Media and Digital Cultures – I found out that UQ has one of the best curricula in this area. That intrigued me to enrol in UQ.
