Bachelor of Games and Interactivity

Program Overview
The Bachelor of Games and Interactivity focuses on the role of games in contemporary society and how games are developing as a cultural industry. You'll undertake a range of projects which focus on analog and digital games, and develop practical and creative research and communication skills in a games lab environment.
The course recognises the increasing convergence of games and other forms of media by complementing a core set of games-specific studies with units drawn from the wider field of media and communications.
