The Graduate Diploma in Digital Media allows those with a prior undergraduate degree and/or relevant work experience to undertake a condensed one-year full time (or up to three years part time) programme of study in the area of digital media. Prior knowledge of digital media is not necessarily required for entry into the programme as many of the same foundation digital media papers undertaken by Bachelor of Communication Studies students are studied in the first semester of the Graduate Diploma. However, as every student on the programme is required not only to practise but also to think, research and write about digital media, applicants may be required to provide evidence of previous academic study and writing ability.
