E-Media is a major stream in the BFA, allowing for an increased focus on electronic media in line with technological changes that are occurring in the field. It takes into account the growing importance that electronic media have in the creation of works of visual art and design. A specialisation in electronic media is increasingly a sought-after vocational requirement for students with a visual art training.

Students can take a major in E-Media, consisting of FSE110 E-Media 1, FSE210 E-Media 2 and FSE310 E-Media 3 (a total of 125%). Options in E-Media (12.5% each) are also available to students who do not wish to major in E-Media.

Instruction in a variety of different capabilities of electronic media is offered; digital imaging, sound, temporal media and interactive multimedia, 3D modelling and animation. The philosophical approach is to encourage exploration of the innovative capacities of electronic media whilst at the same time emphasising integration with the approaches and techniques of more traditional media.

With the rapid development and constant change in visually based computer applications, students are encouraged to develop a resourceful attitude towards computing and problem solving, to develop the capacity to learn new applications and approaches as circumstances require.
