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.

In the Bachelor of Archaeology, you’ll explore theories and trends that have shaped the history of archaeology, and undertake study in laboratories and out in the field.
