The Masters of Screen Studies program provides students with industry-level skills, a show-reel of production work and a strong analytical and theoretical foundation relating to digital screen production. Students are able to pursue a major area of specialisation from the following fields: producing, directing, screenwriting, cinematography, sound, editing and production design. Students may also elect a secondary area of specialisation. The course includes the professional production of six short dramas and documentaries, a web-series, music and corporate videos and client-based projects. A unique feature of the program is the relationship with the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). Students in the WAAPA acting department as well as costume, design, lighting, sound and production management are involved in the production of the Academy film projects.
