The Bachelor of Communication and Media is an exciting, interdisciplinary degree that helps you develop the skills and expertise in high demand across all employment sectors. Every business, nonprofit or government agency needs employees who are effective communicators. This degree is ideal for students with multiple interests who want a broad range of career options. 

Our degree will help you become a strong communicator, able to express yourself persuasively through diverse media from podcasting to video to social media. We introduce you to the latest technologies in digital and artificial intelligence, new forms of immersive media, and ways to tell vivid, compelling stories. At the same time, we work to develop your skills in the fundamentals, such as shaping content for audiences, building collaborative skills on projects and acquiring the confidence to challenge and reimagine the world around you. You will learn theories that help you understand how media and communication industries work and how they can be improved to serve local and global communities.  

Our teaching style emphasises hands-on experience from day one, giving you the space to experiment and discover your own interests and talents. Throughout the degree you will be working on real world problems, developing a portfolio of work that shows what you can do. We support your learning with state-of-the-art facilities including a fully equipped television and video production studio, radio studios and podcasting suites, design labs and film production spaces.

Screen Media Production (major)

In the Screen Media Production major, you will learn how to produce innovative content for diverse audiences in an era when video has become central to news media, social media platforms, and cultural communication. You will learn a suite of practical skills in screen production and have the chance to explore and be inspired by innovative forms of storytelling and immersive media.   

As you become fluent in the language of sound and image, we will introduce you to the larger international and economic contexts that shape global and national screen industries from Hollywood to Seoul to Sydney. At the local level, you will learn how independent creators develop, produce and share their work across different platforms and markets.  

The visual projects you develop as part of this major will deepen your understanding of the ethics of storytelling and production and provide a portfolio of work that will impress employers. The Screen major gives you the tools to express your own ideas in creative ways and with social impact in preparation for future cultural leadership.
