5 Professor Mike Walsh Program Director "Flinders is one of Australia s leading universities for the study of visual media. It has a long list of graduates working in the film, television, computer games, and visual effects industries as well as arts administration and education. The Bachelor of Creative Arts (Digital Media) assumes that digitally-based media including film and video production, animation and other multimedia packages involve more than just the mastery of software. The course includes production work along with studies of the history and theory of image production in the cinema and other media. The course is based on the idea that employers look for graduates who have creative ideas on how to use new media, and can put those ideas into action."
