Program Description
The Science Media and Communications program leads to a 3 year Pass or 4 year Honours degree. It is aimed at producing students who have a strong grounding in science together with conceptual and practical skills in media and communication studies. Students gain creative, practical experience with digital media in the production of audiovisual and multimedia works in an advanced multimedia laboratory, together with an understanding of the history and social impacts of media technologies. This focus is combined with a Major or two Minors in Science.
