Overview

In the Media and Communication (Honours) program from the RMIT University you will study the big issues in contemporary media and communication, expand on your abilities and further investigate your specialisation using sophisticated research and project skills. You will demonstrate your advanced conceptual abilities through project outcomes, examined by key industry and academic leaders.

Career

Honours gives you the ability to differentiate yourself from degree graduates by specialising in your field over the course of an extra year’s study.

The media and communication industry is constantly evolving due to technological advances and changes in societal values, which influence the way we find information and communicate with each other.

Completing an honours year helps you keep up to date with your area of interest and demonstrates your outstanding ability to industry, both of which increase your employability. It is the traditional pathway to a masters by research or a doctorate (PhD).

Successful honours research projects tend to be an entry point into a student's preferred career.
