About the course

Upon completion of the course, graduates will be able to:

• appreciate the history, philosophy and ethics of audiovisual archiving
• describe the structures, strategies and skills by which audiovisual management activities are pursued
• recognise why audiovisual objects deteriorate and be able to implement appropriate preservation and storage methods to minimise this deterioration
  
• understand the principles and practices underlying collection development, collection management and access within the audiovisual environment, particularly as they relate to audiovisual archives.

This course was designed in consultation with The National Film and Sound Archive.

Students must have regular access to the internet to access the learning material available online and to participate in online discussions.

Academic expectations

For each 8 point subject at CSU, students should normally expect to spend between 140-160 hours engaged in the specified learning and assessment activities (such as attending lectures or residential schools, assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, assignments or examinations). The student workload for some subjects may vary from these norms as a result of approved course design.

Students will be assessed on the basis of completed assignments, examinations, workplace learning, or other methods as outlined in specific subject outlines.

Where applicable, students are responsible for travel and accommodation costs involved in workplace learning experiences, or attending residential schools (distance education students).

Expectations relating to academic, workplace learning, time and cost requirements for specific subjects are provided in the subject abstracts and in course materials.

Admission requirements

Applicants are expected to hold an undergraduate degree or professional experience and/or other qualifications deemed equivalent by the Faculty.

English language proficiency

The University has minimum requirements for English language proficiency prior to entry to our courses. Some courses also have a requirement for a higher entry or exit level of English proficiency. More information on English language requirements.

Internet access

CSU places great emphasis on services to its students. It is a leader in the provision of online services and, in particular, the use of the internet in the support of teaching, administration and communications with students.

The online environment is so integrated into all aspects of student life and the learning experience at CSU that the University now assumes that all on campus and distance education students at CSU will have ongoing access to an internet connected computer capable of communicating with CSU online systems.

Students enrolled in Information Technology subjects (i.e. with an ITC subject code) may be required to have additional hardware and/or software that is deemed essential for the completion of the learning activities in that subject.
