Master of Media and Creative Technologies
The Master of Media and Creative Technologies is designed to enhance the creative and technical scope of media designers, performers and creators. This degree will provide you with a distinct edge in an increasingly competitive media field nationally and globally.
The Master of Media and Creative Technologies (MMCT) allows you to choose from one of the three subjects available: Creative Practices, Creative Technologies and Screen and Media Studies, offered under the School of Arts and School of Social Sciences. Each area offers you the opportunity to blend artistic and technical forms in new combinations.
