Master of Media Design

The Master of Media Design is an innovative postgraduate degree program that focuses on the concept and practice of Media Design. This program is not about graphic design but rather about the design thinking processes that underpin the creation and communication of media work, artefacts and projects. It aims to prepare individuals to shape the future of the media industry with strategic, user-centered, and innovative approaches to creating media artefacts that have value, utility, and meaning in today’s world. 

In this program, students will not only master the design of individual media projects, but also learn to design processes, workflows, and systems, considering the interconnectedness of individual components within a broader communication ecosystem, in society, and in the world around us. Our goal is to produce forward-thinking media design professionals who can navigate the complexities of the rapidly changing media landscape and contribute to the field with thoughtful, innovative, and impactful work and media artefacts.

Graduates of this program will be leaders of the media and creative industries, using media design principles to drive change in the industry and society, focusing on user-centered approaches to creative problem-solving and media-making. As leaders in the industry, you will be adept at translating abstract concepts into engaging media experiences, shaping the future of how we create, consume, and interact with media, people, and the world around us.
