Bachelor of Communication and Media (Journalism)
The Journalism major will develop your skills in reporting and storytelling, with a focus on multimedia content creation and multi-platform publication.
Alongside these practical skills, you will learn about the changing media landscape and the impact of journalism on effective communication across communities locally and worldwide.
You will learn from experienced journalists about the exciting new opportunities for multimedia content creators who have a strong understanding of media platforms, who are skilled in managing deadlines within the news cycle and who are passionate about journalism in all its forms.
The Bachelor of Communication and Media enables you to expand your career options by combining the Journalism major with one of four other majors in the degree: Digital and Social Media; Global Screen Media; Visual Communication Design; or Marketing Communication and Advertising. 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.
What you will study
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
- Global Screen Media
- Marketing Communication and Advertising
- Visual Communication Design
