In order to provide students with a range of possible opportunities, the course material covers areas such as audio and video principles, software programming, audio and video authoring, and studio techniques, all of which will provide graduates with the best possible start to their careers.

Advances in technology will provide an opportunity to students to develop knowledge of both hardware and software systems that can be applied in areas such as media, music, sound and video processing.
