The growth of user-generated content is transforming the ways in which media organisations produce and deliver content. Students require additional skills to be able to operate as professionals in this dynamic environment.
 
The Graduate Diploma of Arts (Media and Communications) is designed to equip graduates with attributes that make them attractive to prospective employers, or more valuable to current employers. The nature of expertise in such a dynamic media and communications environment is changing and the key graduate attributes of the program are adaptability, versatility and creativity. 
 
The program also equips graduates with skills to participate in this changing landscape, offering three streams of study in Journalism, Digital Content Production and Media and Communications Policy.
 
Key areas of study:
  • online and convergent journalism
  • digital content production
  • media and communication policy
  • media placement
  • user-generated content

Prospective applicants may also wish to consider the Graduate Certificate of Arts (Media and Communications) or the Master of Arts (Media and Communications) .
