Master of Convergent Media

On the contemporary media landscape is the breakdown of traditional media silos and the transformation of media production and consumption practices. Media, marketing and creative professionals are now required to understand and connect with their audiences across broadcast, online, mobile and other channels and to integrate new platforms and social media into their mix.

The Master of Convergent Media offers an environment in which you will develop new digital content, build skills and resources and explore the industry’s future, while assessing how you can adapt your experience to this rapidly changing industry. You will extend your experience portfolio, building advanced skills in creative/conceptual development and media production through the delivery of a multi-platform/convergent media product. You will acquire a thorough knowledge of the convergent landscape, from mobile media to gaming, virtual worlds and social media.

The School of Humanities and Communication Arts offers superior academic and production resources with a recent refurbishment of its studio, broadcast facilities, streaming server and a live outside broadcast remote facility. These facilities will enable you to develop a professional pitch and prototype in the production format of your own choice and receive critical feedback from leading industry professionals.
