Course outline

Creative communication specialists are increasingly in demand in a range of industries, government and communities. The Bachelor of Communication prepares students for a lifetime of creative and critical use of media and communication in our fast-paced, ever-changing digital landscape. With a strong foundation in writing, industry engagement (including internships), practice and production skills, students develop expertise in multimedia and online content production, social media engagement and analytics, community and stakeholder engagement, and campaign development throughout the program. Specialise in either Strategic Communication or Digital Media and complement this choice alongside a second major or a minor or general electives.
