Overview
In Creative Arts, students take extensive studies in a discipline area. The Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies adds an opportunity to broaden the focus, to acquire skills outside the main areas of the degree and thereby increase its marketability. The core of the Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies deals with contemporary issues in politics, communication studies, and media studies, giving students a broad grounding in which to situate their major study.
