Course outline

Influence what the world reads, watches and understands by choosing this dual degree that explores the practices of journalism and the way in which the media and communication work together. With dramatic changes taking place in media industries, technologies and cultures, our Bachelor of Communication prepares you for a lifetime of creative and innovative use of media and communication.

The Bachelor of Journalism is a professional program aimed at preparing you for entry into work in journalism and related fields. It develops a deep understanding of journalism and its media and communication contexts, and the skills and reflection necessary to be a journalist.

All courses integrate practice and theory, with students complementing their studies with domestic and international field trips and internship opportunities. They will gain valuable insights into current practice through an on-site media and production support team, and networking with professionals from leading media outlets – proving a sound platform for employment or further study.
