Bachelor of Communications

The Communications course prepares you for working across more than one area in the rapidly expanding world of media and corporate communication. It provides key technological skills and knowledge, as well as an understanding of the issues and debates that concern media, communication and information in the world today.

In your first year you are introduced to the many different areas that make up mass communication, including foundation units in media studies as well as practical units in journalism, screen production, web media, design and either marketing or public relations. In your second and third years, you consolidate your training by choosing two areas (or 'streams') in which to specialise.

The first stream can be chosen from Corporate Screen Production, Journalism, or Web Media. The second stream may also be taken from those areas, or you may prefer to choose from Digital Design, Marketing, Photography, Public Relations, or Graphic Communication.

Your second and third year core units also offer insight into a range of media issues and communication contexts, teaching you not just the technical skills to suit your professional ambitions but also the flexibility and critical awareness that come with a broader intellectual understanding of media and corporate communications.

The unique combination of media, design and business means that Communications graduates are ideally equipped to pursue a range of careers as professional communicators in either the media or in business.
