/ Overview
The graduates of the Master of Production Design for Screen have developed skills, knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to successfully take on design roles for screen. Guest lectures from the industry and staff who are also experienced practitioners ensure the training is professionally relevant and current.

We could not do this without the valuable contributions of our industry partners and Fine Arts and Music colleagues. A big thank you to all the people who have made this kind of learning environment possible. With special mention of...
The Faculty of Fine Arts and Music professional staff who supported our students on productions, especially the Production Coordinators, Technical Support, Costume and Workshop staff.
