This double degree ensures you graduate with the advanced writing and production skills needed for a career in the journalism industry, as well as the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed for a career in creative, professional and technical writing.
You will explore historical and contemporary fiction, non-fiction, poetry, autobiographies, essays and plays, as well as news and feature writing, audio and video, print and digital journalism.
Our on-campus facilities, which include TV and radio studios, will offer you the opportunity to practise recording audio and video news bulletins and podcasts, producing, and filming with industry-standard technology. You will also have the opportunity to write, edit, record and publish stories for our online publishing platforms: On the Record and UniCast, a web-based radio station.
You will get the chance to practise and develop these skills in a real-world environment through our studios, and publishing and streaming platforms, and when you complete an internship or industry project during your final year. This great opportunity enables you to hone your skills and build important industry networks.
If you finish your degree with a credit or higher grade point average (GPA) you could also be eligible for the one-year Bachelor of Creative Arts (Honours).
