The Media minor offers students training in media production informed by both current media theory and contemporary industry practices. The sequence is practically-oriented with multiple studio-based units that see students producing folios of work which align with the activities of the profession. Students in the sequence are equipped with the practical skills required for employment in a range of media industry roles including digital video production, television production, broadcast radio and online content production in new, social and emerging media.
