Overview
This double degree program enables students to combine a specialisation from the Bachelor Communication and Media Studies with the core subjects and a major from the Bachelor of Commerce. Many students interested in communication studies actually want to work at management level in the business sector. The double degree allows students a little more space to extend their business focus. The core subjects and the other specialisations in the degree (digital communication, journalism and screen studies) add employment options to the degree program.
The requirements for the Bachelor of Communication and Media studies (including specialisations) are set out in this Handbook under course code 798. The requirements for majors offered by the Faculty of Commerce are also set out in this Handbook under its Faculty entry. Students should note that if they take the Advertising and Marketing specialisation in this degree, they cannot take the major in Marketing offered by Commerce.
