In today’s fast-paced digital age, we’ve never been hungrier for news – sharing it with the masses in real time, as it happens. The Bachelor of Communication (Journalism) will give you the skills to unearth a great news story, engage with your audience and deliver the news across a range of media platforms. 

Do you want hands-on real-life newsroom experience while you study? 

From day one, you'll have the opportunity to identify, research and plan news and feature stories, so you can write, edit and publish them straight from our newsroom and creative media labs on campus. Through industry experience, and guided by media practitioners with extensive experience across print, television, radio and digital media, you’ll learn about:

• community journalism
• feature writing
• interview techniques
• media law and ethics
• multi-platform and broadcast journalism
• news reporting
• researching stories.

While developing your knowledge in communication and media, you'll also get sought-after broadcasting experience during your studies through an internship with a major newspaper, radio station or television network.

This course will prepare you for employment in the communications industries, across all media platforms, whether working for large news organisations, allied media businesses or freelancing.
