Overview

Communications and media are an exciting and inescapable part of modern life. With the advent of social media, the 24-hour news cycle, the development of citizen journalism, and the multiplatform delivery of film and screen production, the traditional media landscape has changed beyond recognition. This has presented new opportunities and avenues of communication for filmmakers, journalists, photographers and other media practitioners.

In the Bachelor of Communications & Media component of this double degree, you’ll explore the principles and techniques of communications and media by examining and creating print, non-print and multimedia texts using traditional, new, and emerging media technologies. Our degree provides you with a unique opportunity to learn about journalism, film and screen production, digital communication, photography and much more. This program teaches you how to develop communication and media strategies and skills using contemporary techniques suitable for many types of workplaces.

You must complete a Major in either Journalism, Film and Screen Production, or Photography. Then you can study four extra courses in one of the other three Major areas or a complementary area from a range of humanities, science and social science disciplines – the choice is yours. See the Program Requirements below for specific details.
