Deakin's Graduate Diploma of Digital Media critically engages with a world in which the diverse array of media and cultural industries are increasingly impacted by digital and online developments. Developed in consultation with industry, the course is designed to ensure future media professionals are engaged in practical ways with various forms of digital media platforms; not only critically understanding, but also curating their own content and developing a substantial ePortfolio relevant to organisational contexts. The course enables you to explore, analyse, create and share online content and learn how to creatively select and assemble media elements to create personal or brand identities, stories, and narratives.

Following successful completion of the Graduate Diploma of Digital Media, you may choose to apply for credit to continue your studies in Deakin's Master of Communication.

The Graduate Diploma of Digital Media is designed to produce graduates who are effective and multi-literate communicators.

They will meet the growing need for independent and collaborative researchers, who are innovative problem solvers and ethical global citizens. The course recognises that media professionals of the future will require versatile skill sets that enable them to adapt to ever-changing industry environments and, in doing so, be active participants and content curators online.

Jobs of the future in the communications and media industries will be obtained by those practitioners who have a strong online identity/presence and diverse portfolio. The Graduate Diploma of Digital Media seeks to create savvy media professionals who actively, productively and ethically engage with communities through online and traditional means.
