This degree consists of core subjects and a range of electives compatible with the course and it s objectives. Subjects in drawing, design studio and art and design theory give students a solid grounding in visual communication, while a sequence of specialised digital imaging subjects cover aspects of time-based media and interactivity. The course is also supported by subjects such as professional practice and project research.
Elective subjects allow students to specialise in specific areas of multimedia design.
They may pursue subjects relevant to visual communication, interior architecture, art and design theory, photomedia, and animation. Electives from other faculties at Monash University are also available in areas such as communication studies, computer programming, and media studies. An honours year will soon be introduced allowing students the opportunity to specialise in an area of multimedia design. Students taking an honours year will be encouraged to contribute to the development of multimedia design through research into the evolving nature of the discipline. The course jointly offered by The Faculty of Information Technology and The Faculty of Art and Design brings together the study of technology, systems development and design.
