huuuge difference, digital media is more for artistic and creative careers like animations, computer manipulated art/digital art, web design, etc..whereas media and comm is a humanities course similar to the usyd media course, i.e about writing, film studies, etc

Ah ok, but from what I had heard the BA (media and comm) at UNSW was very technology based... does anyone here do either of these courses?

mercurydrinker does.
i've seen your posts in the UTS forum and judging by them i think you'd be interested in the media and comm one but not digital media one, that course at cofa sort of leads you more into website design and graphic design, whereas you want to do more actuall communications, don't you..?

Yeah, I'm actually interested in both of these areas, however I lean more towards the communications courses. I was just curious
Thanks for the help.
BTW, would the employment prospects of graduating with a BA (media and communications) from UNSW be good??? It's one of my backups if I don't get the UAI for UTS or Syd

if anyones still interested, I'm doing Media and Commmunications at UNSW...
from what I gather there is a fair bit of difference between the two. Digital Media is graphic design, animation and fine arts type stuff. Media and Comm. is an Arts course with a Media and Comm. core.
In first year, you have four subjects, three arts subject which can be almost anthing, history, economics, politics, film studies, maths, science, language etc. and there a fourth subject which is new media. new media is half practical stuff (we did dreamweaver and flash, in this respect it somewhat resembles Digital Media) the other half is theoretical stuff about new media.
