Bachelor of Communication Studies

The Bachelor of Communication Studies (three years full time) at UNE offers a balance of academic and vocational education. It includes two separate programs. The general program in Communication Studies explores print, audio, audiovisual and electronic media and allows students to broaden their knowledge of communication practices in various social contexts. The named program in Writing allows students to specialize in academic, professional, organizational, creative and media-based genres.

Career Opportunities
Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show that more people are employed in the arts and entertainment sector than in, for example, the legal sector. Graduates of the Bachelor of Communication Studies will find employment opportunities in areas such as film, television, advertising, print media, multimedia, arts and entertainment management, the public service and public relations. Students taking the Writing program of this Bachelor course have the opportunity to enhance knowledge and skills in research, writing and editing that are relevant to a wide range of areas including the media, publishing and editing, administration, arts and entertainment, business and the creative and cultural industries. Both programs of the course can also assist students to progress to further studies including postgraduate research.
