Our Interactive Media course focuses on the creation
of interactive projects including web sites, installations, CD-ROMs,
DVDs and other forms of multimedia.
Our course is structured so that students are exposed to the full range of multimedia software in their first year, after which they specialise in an area of particular interest, be it web site coding, installation work, games, CD-ROM or DVD development, kiosks or another form of multimedia.
Students spend much of their second year working towards a major final multimedia work with support from multimedia staff. This final work becomes a major folio piece. A number of our students' final works have won national multimedia awards.

Specialist activities
Our multimedia program offers students the opportunity to become involved in innovative technology-related projects, paid industry experience, workshops, research activities and regular visits by guest speakers. This is through a special initiative called Hybrid , which exists to further innovation and collaboration in new media.
Students have benefited from Hybrid through activities such as two-day video production workshops run in conjunction with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, the production of mobile phone content, paid coding work for major government web sites, performance and technology tuition, keyboard hack/sensor/trigger workshops and a range of DVD production projects.
