Outline Outline Screen-based media is an extensive industry that is growing in exciting new directions.
The Screen Arts double degree major prepares you for comprehensive opportunities in the expanding screen-based media industry.
You will learn to apply screen theories to create your own works, whether in the realm of factual, events or drama.

- a suite of high-definition cameras
- sound recording, lighting and grips equipment
- editing, grading and audio postproduction labs.
In your final year you'll write, direct or produce a major screen production to industry standard.
This major combines both theory and practice. You will develop practical and analytical skills while developing an understanding of a growing multiplatform industry.
