Bachelor of Communication and Media (Visual Communication Design)
The Visual Communication Design major allows you to develop skills in graphic design for both traditional and new media.
You will learn graphic design principles and practices, while working on client-driven design projects for print, online, mobile and emerging platforms.
You will graduate with flexible visual design skills, ready for new career opportunities that focus on communicating messages visually across a broad spectrum of contexts and media. The Bachelor of Communication and Media enables you to expand your career options by combining the Visual Communication Design major with one of four other majors in the degree: Digital and Social Media; Journalism; Global Screen Media; 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.

Alongside these practical skills and experiences, you will study the ways in which emerging digital platforms are changing the context for visual communication design, both in Australia and internationally.
