Bachelor of Digital Media

Overview

The Bachelor of Digital Media (BDM) is delivered jointly by the University of Wollongong (UOW) and TAFE NSW Illawarra Institute. The BDM is a three-year full-time course that combines the practical study and application offered by TAFE NSW Screen and Media programs with the theory and practical work offered by the Faculty of Creative Arts' School of Art and Design.

Upon completion, students receive the BDM award from the University of Wollongong and the Advanced Diploma in Screen and Media from TAFE NSW. The program offers broad and comprehensive preparation for students wishing to pursue a career in the growing digital media industry.

Entry Requirements

All applications should be directed to UOW in the first instance.

Applicants need to demonstrate their ability to meet the criteria for the program as determined by a portfolio and an interview. Potential students need to apply via the appropriate admission method (UAC, direct or transfer) and also apply to attend an interview with the Faculty.

Course Requirements

This course is offered in conjunction and concurrently with the TAFE NSW Illawarra Institute, Screen and Media programs. The Screen and Media component will be delivered by TAFE NSW and will offer students various exit points if they do not wish to proceed to the award of the Bachelor of Digital Media.

To qualify for the award of BDM a candidate shall accrue an aggregate of at least 144 credit points by satisfactory completion of subjects listed in the program of study.

Cross articulation may occur between the TAFE NSW, Screen and Media programs and the University of Wollongong BDM, provided these courses are completed concurrently.

Should any of the TAFE NSW, Screen and Media programs be completed prior to enrolling in the BDM, the standard credit arrangement policies apply (see credit arrangements above).
