Additional elective units of study from related areas in Communication Design or Contemporary Music are also encouraged.

The course focuses on high-end technologies, software and theories to enable students to become multi-skilled professionals and creative graduates in areas such as animation, video production, communication, interactive design, graphic design, digital media, film, television, gaming, music, sound and web design.

The Bachelor of Creative Arts and Industries (New Media Design) is part of a suite of professional creative courses for the cultural industries available through Charles Darwin University which enables students to also take suites of study from the creative study options in Music, Visual Arts and Communications.

Within each of these discipline pathways, there are alternative study plans that allow a student to explore a particular strength.

Opportunities to develop and apply creative industries skills and knowledge are facilitated by an emphasis on seeking solutions for a range of real-world projects and challenges.
