Gain the knowledge vital for exciting careers in media and related professions.
Courses cover the study of journalism and other forms of public communication, along with global journalism, mass communication and digital media.
Career opportunities can be found in arts, business, government and business, marketing, communications or public relations.
Career possibilities
Our programs prepare you for your first job and beyond. Here are some of the careers you could be on your way to:
- Reporter
- Correspondent/Journalist
- Journalist
- Media sub-editor
- Sub-editor
- Marketing manager
- Radio journalist
- Radio presenter
- Arts journalist
- Digital editor
Throughout the program, I’ve learnt from lecturers, tutors and industry guests who have worked as and are currently working as correspondents, journalists, editors and media practitioners. Hearing about their stories and experiences help fuel my passion for journalism and media.
This role means I can speak to journalists and journalism students and share some of the lessons I have learnt. And I want to remind journalists about why the job matters and, hopefully, inspire them to really drill down and do that job with passion and commitment.
