Screen-based media is an extensive industry that is growing in exciting new directions.

The Screen Arts 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.

You’ll use Curtin’s advanced production facilities to develop the technical and practical skills of an effective visual storyteller. These facilities include:

• Western Australia’s largest working television studio in a tertiary setting
• 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.

If you decide to study Screen Arts as a single major, you’re encouraged to choose elective units from within the discipline to enhance your understanding and career opportunities.
