Overview | Summary of Courses

Offered By:

ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences

This major may only be counted in a Bachelor of Arts (New Media Arts) or Bachelor of Information Technology degree.

The combination of a new BInfTech core with the major in IT in New Media Arts from BA(NMA) widens the approach to computing to include the creative and conceptual touch, starting by applying scripting to the application area of new media (video and audio).

This major will introduce the key concepts of IT literacy in the area of development and generalized use of IT tools in new media. By the latter we mean computational and IT literacy underpinnings of the use of such tools rather than instruction in specific tools or artistic production using tools.

With the increasing pervasiveness of IT, we expect a higher level of IT literacy and understanding of the potentials of the IT technologies to be of interest and relevant as a second major for many students.

Requirements

The major in IT in New Media Arts requires the completion of 42 units from the select list with a maximum of 12 units of first year courses offered at 1000 level and a minimum of 30 units of later year courses.
