COURSE DESCRIPTION
Summary
The Bachelor of Media and Communications will equip you with the skills you’ll need to respond to today’s – and tomorrow’s – rapidly evolving media environment. Whether you’re interested in making your own films or music videos, writing for print and online publications, designing interactive and media-rich websites, producing radio podcasts and broadcasts, streaming live media or managing public relations campaigns, this degree will position you at the heart of content creation. The Bachelor of Economics will provide you with a sound understanding of today’s complex economic environment and the skills to design economic systems that promote welfare, fairness and sustainability. You’ll learn about how modern economies operate, trade and grow; the role of prices and markets in allocating scarce resources; and the sorts of policy interventions that can be introduced when economic outcomes are less than optimal.
