About this program

The Bachelor of Multimedia at Murdoch University guides students through the key elements of digital content creation, design, and communication. Over three years, you'll work with tools for graphic design, animation, video production, audio editing, web development, and interactive media. The course explores fundamental theories of mass communication and digital storytelling while also allowing you to develop practical skills through project-based learning and collaborative assignments.

At Murdoch, a bachelor's degree usually consists of units of study that total the required number of credit points for graduation; check the official course outline for the exact structure. Students gain a mix of technical and creative skills, often working on real briefs or simulated client projects. Some units may provide work-integrated learning or professional placements, which are common in creative industries and help build connections with Perth-based media and design employers.

This degree suits anyone interested in digital media creation—whether you aim to work in web design, animation, video production, or interactive media for business, education, or entertainment purposes. The skills you develop can give you an entry point into a rapidly growing area of Australia's digital and creative sectors. As you study, international students with a Student visa may work up to 48 hours per fortnight during teaching periods, and the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) may provide a pathway to further work in Australia after you graduate. Always confirm the latest course details directly with Murdoch University.
