COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Communication comprises a total of 144 credit points and is designed to provide students with a flexible and industry-relevant education in communication, media, and digital engagement. The program includes 18 credit points of Communication Core subjects that establish foundational knowledge in communication theories, media practices, and essential professional skills. Students then complete a 48-credit-point Digital and Social Media Stream, which focuses on contemporary digital platforms, content creation, audience engagement, and social media strategy. In addition, students select a second stream worth 48 credit points, which allows them to specialise in another communication-related area. This second stream must be chosen at the time of first-year enrolment, and students are required to complete the first two subjects within it during their first year to gain early exposure before confirming their long-term direction. At the beginning of second year, students may either continue with the chosen second stream, which will be formally recognised in their final award title, or opt out and instead complete electives. Students choosing to discontinue the second stream must submit an eRequest to update their study plan. The remaining 30 credit points are dedicated to electives, allowing further academic flexibility. Overall, the structure supports personalised learning while equipping students with practical communication and digital media skills for diverse professional careers.
