The Bachelor of Arts (Screen Studies and Popular Culture) explores film, television and other screen media through contemporary cultural analysis.

Career outcome

Graduates may pursue roles across screen and cultural industries where critical analysis and communication are valued, including content and media support, programming and audience research, arts and cultural organisations, and community or digital engagement. The degree also provides a foundation for further study in media, screen or cultural fields. Outcomes align with an undergraduate Arts & Humanities qualification focused on screen studies. Preparing graduates for graduate employment, professional traineeships, and further postgraduate study.
