Stage2 - Diploma of Arts and Creative Industries - Communication, Design and Arts, Leading to Bachelor of Creative Arts in Screen Arts

Program Overview

Students who have already completed Year 12 (or equivalent) may start with the Stage 2 Diploma, which has the same course content and structure as year one of the corresponding Curtin University undergraduate degree. Upon completion of your Diploma, you will progress directly into the second year of your Curtin University Bachelor's degree program.


Stage2 - Diploma of Arts and Creative Industries - Communication, Design and Arts
The Diploma of Arts and Creative Industries leads into the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Communications, Bachelor of Creative Arts or Bachelor of Design. You will learn transferable skills in communication, creativity, critical thinking, digital knowledge, presentation, problem solving, research and teamwork that can be applied to a range of workplaces in the creative industry.


Leading to:  Bachelor of Creative Arts
If you’re passionate about pursuing a career in the creative industries, this course will provide you with the skills and experience you need to take your career anywhere in the world.

You’ll gain a broad-based, contemporary understanding of theory and practice in your chosen major, learning from discipline experts and industry professionals who share their innovative, passionate and contemporary knowledge of the creative arts.

You'll also gain first-hand experience working with industry-standard equipment in our Media Production Studio, Hayman Theatre and the Design and Art precinct studios, labs and galleries.

With professional internships available and opportunities to exhibit, perform and screen works to the public, you'll be immersed in the creative sector well before you graduate.


Major: Screen Arts
This major prepares you for comprehensive opportunities in the expanding screen-based media industry.

Throughout your studies you'll be able to develop and enhance your passion for creative media production and storytelling – skills that are sought after in many fields.

You'll develop practical and analytical skills while developing an understanding of a growing multiplatform industry. You'll learn to apply screen theories, understand the importance of cinema history and how screen communication informs, entertains and engages audiences – all of which will help you in creating your own works in the realms of factual events and drama.

You'll develop technical skills in areas such as production and emerging types of contemporary digital post-production (such as virtual backgrounds and visual effects), using Curtin’s advanced production facilities to develop the technical and practical skills of an effective visual storyteller. These facilities include:

  • Western Australia’s largest working television studio in a tertiary setting
  • Asuite of high-definition cameras
  • Sound recording, lighting and grips equipment
  • Editing, grading and audio postproduction labs.

In your final year you’ll write, direct or produce a major screen production to industry standard.

If you choose to study Screen Arts as a single major, you’re encouraged to choose elective units from within the discipline, to enhance your understanding and career opportunities.

Screen Arts is offered as part of the Bachelor of Creative Arts.


What you'll learn

  • Demonstrate an understanding of concepts, theories, methodologies, histories and production skills and techniques relating to a diverse range of screen media and arts as well as apply them to the development and production of high quality screen-based work
  • Apply critical thinking, creative experimentation and entrepreneurial skills so as to realise academic and creative practice-based outcomes
  • Communicate ideas effectively to a range of audiences utilising a variety of screen forms, genres and platforms
  • Demonstrate an appreciation of the cultural and intercultural significance of screen media, as well as local/global media cultures, trends, practises, influences and opportunities; and reflect this in their academic and creative practices
  • Demonstrate respect for cultural diversity within Indigenous Australia, the wider community and University environment in academic and creative practice works and activities
  • Employ ethical and best practice strategies for creative collaboration that will enhance their skills and resilience for working in a dynamic industry
