Study Pathway

“I love everything about the bachelor of creative practice. I started with a level 5 diploma in screen production and progressed into the final year of my bachelors degree, when I really got to hone in on screen production, that’s when the magic happened. The facilities, opportunities and support from both tutors and peers has made all the difference and I have already won a specialised award. I am excited for the future.”
