Overview
This double degree program enables students to combine a major study from the Bachelor Communication and Media Studies with the core subjects and a major study from the Bachelor of Commerce. Many students interested in communication studies actually want to work at management level in the business sector. The advertising and marketing major in the BCM will allow Commerce students a little more space to extend their business focus. The core subjects and the other majors in the degree (journalism and screen and media studies, for example) add employment options to the degree program.
To qualify for the award of Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies - Bachelor of Commerce a student must:
a) complete all the compulsory (core) subjects in the Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies and the required subjects of one of the specialist studies in that degree;
b) complete subjects from the Commerce schedule, including core subjects, and subjects to satisfy the requirements of one of the Commerce majors with the exception of the Marketing major in Commerce;
c) complete not more than 90 credit points at 100-level;
d) where necessary, undertake elective subjects from the Course Structures of the Bachelor of Commerce, the Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies or the General Schedule to ensure that at least 216 credit points have been completed.
