Introduction
Gain the core skills you need to pursue a career in the audio industry, have the chance to collaborate with your peers, build your portfolio and practical experience, and be mentored by well-connected industry professionals in Australia's leading, award-winning audio engineering course.
During the Bachelor's Degree, explore acoustic design, microphone techniques, audio electronics, and music production and how this can be applied to mixed media such as television, film, digital design, and games. Collaborating with students on real projects in these same areas will give you a broader context in which to apply your skills and expand your professional network. You’ll also get the opportunity to focus on an area most aligned with your skills and interests by taking electives including Live Events, Studio Production, Sound for Screen, and Electronic Music Production.
Explore post-production, surround sound, and large-scale live sound systems, develop an area of specialty, and create a tailored showreel designed to kick-start your career in the industry.
