| What it is | This program combines theatre design and production with media communication studies. You learn how to create and build sets, lighting, and sound for stage and film productions, and study how to communicate visually and through performance. It suits people who want to work in theatre, film, television, or live events rather than just perform or study drama theory alone. | Visual Studies is the study of how images, film, photography, and design communicate meaning and shape culture. You'll learn theory, history, and hands-on practice across cinematography, photography, fine art, and design. This program suits students who want to understand visual culture deeply and develop creative skills, rather than train narrowly for a specific design or film production role. | You study how films, photographs, and media messages are made and understood, combining hands-on work in cinematography and design with analysis of how communication shapes culture. This program blends technical skills — camera work, editing, visual design — with critical thinking about media's role in society. It suits people who want to create visual work and understand the stories media tells. |
