Bachelor of Communication & Media Studies - Bachelor
of Science
In Science where students take extensive studies in discipline
areas, the BCM 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 BCM deals with
contemporary issues in politics, communication studies and
media, giving students a broad grounding in which to situate
their major study. The Media Technology Studies major complements
the Science degree well, allowing students to examine the
rise of the media industry and critique the controversies
marking the growth of media technology.
