314408 v.1 Visualisation Technologies Major
Introduction
Visualisation Technology refers to the innovative use of images and interactive technology in a range of applications such as spatial “mapping” and surveying, architecture, engineering, commerce, gaming, media and communication, art, geography and security, health and education. Virtual and augmented experiences, multi-touch interfaces, mobile device views and social networks mean users can see, explore and share relationships, experiences and insights in new ways. This major is designed to provide students with the skills and insights to be able to use these technologies and devices in their future professions or creative practice, either as a single major or in association with another discipline area.
Major Combinations within the BA
Students choosing this major within the Bachelor of Arts degree will also choose another major or an elective stream. Choosing a second major allows students to study in an additional discipline area. Choosing an elective stream allows students to undertake further study in the discipline of their first major or choose from a variety of units from around the University.
Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites
Students should complete Creative Image Communication 100 in first year.
Recognition of Prior Learning
Applications for recognition of prior learning are assessed on an individual basis.
Career Opportunities
Almost all career opportunities now engage with visualisation technologies to some extent, so this major is a valuable addition to studies in any discipline.
