The Master of Creative Industries caters for the professional development of Creative Industries practitioners and related professionals. The course develops fundamental and advanced skills, knowledge and practice in the Creative Industries, while at the same time advancing abilities in communication, project management, leadership and project application. Thus, this innovative postgraduate course enables students to fuse creative talents with business and entrepreneurial skills, as the role of manager in the creative industries is to bring together the artist and the consumer through cultural leadership.
The Master of Creative Industries provides an opportunity for postgraduate students to engage in future visionary entrepreneurship and project design, and the Animation Study Area Option give students the opportunity to intensely engage in real projects with practitioners from industry and research centres as supervisors.
The Animation Study Area has been designed in collaboration with industry specialists and offers a studio-based learning environment where professionals and specialist academics in the field deliver a substantial suite of animation units. Connections with the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCI), Institute for Creative Industries and Innovation (iCi) and the Australasian CRC for Interaction Design (ACID), ensure that students will benefit from research and real-world project opportunities.
