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 Science is for those excited by discovery and who question the norm. You’ll learn from world-renowned researchers who are addressing the big issues facing our global society, such as the changing environment, future materials and fuels, and biotechnology. You’ll be able to study complementary disciplines or non-science units that feed your curiosity. And you’ll be part of a community that has led many significant initiatives in recent years, including early climate change research, photonics, evolutionary biology and groundbreaking research in earth’s crustal systems.
