COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Bachelor of Communication and Media offers you a strong foundation in the national and international communication and media industry. With a focus on preparing you for global careers, this degree places an emphasis on high-level skills in media production, communication research and independent project work.
Through the journalism major, you will develop your skills in reporting and storytelling, focusing on multimedia content creation and multi-platform publication. From day one you will work on sourcing and developing stories, as you produce multimedia materials (including text, audio, video, photography and graphics) for publication across social channels and online platforms.
At the same time you will learn the ways in which journalism is changing, why media laws and ethics are important, and how new storytelling formats, such as podcasts and web-series, are changing the way we learn about and engage with the world around us.
In addition to the core subjects and a major in Journalism, there is also the opportunity to complete another major from the below list. This will increase your knowledge and employability in the media and communication industries.
Digital and Social Media
Screen Media Production
Marketing Communication and Advertising
Visual Communication Design
This is an ideal degree if you are interested in more than one area of media and communications and want a flexible future career path.
