Media is the glue of a modern society and shapes every aspect of life today. The Bachelor of Media at UNSW unlocks the specialist expertise, self-knowledge, creative thinking and creative problem-solving skills to make an impact as a media professional, or simply set you up as a more aware professional to succeed in your second and third job, not just your first. You’ll have the opportunity to tailor a degree to your specific interests. Specialise in public relations & advertising, communications and journalism, screen production, cinema studies, or media studies.
