Communications, media, journalism, and public relations degrees in Australia are offered widely, most strongly at UTS, RMIT, QUT, and Monash. Programs are a mix of theory and production work, often with an internship component.
Entry is a bachelor's in any field for the master's, or a solid secondary record for the bachelor's, plus IELTS 6.5 (sometimes 7.0 for journalism). Fees are moderate, generally low to mid AUD 30,000s.
Migration angle. Communications roles are largely absent from the skilled occupation lists, so this field is a weaker choice if permanent residence is the main goal.

Typical entry requirements
Entry to a bachelor degree needs a completed senior secondary qualification (or a recognised foundation year) that meets the university's minimum, plus an English test, usually IELTS 6.0 to 6.5. Entry to a postgraduate coursework degree needs a relevant bachelor degree, often with a credit average, and IELTS 6.5. Registration-based fields (nursing, teaching, psychology, architecture) set higher English bars and additional requirements. Always confirm the exact requirements for the specific program.
Communications & Media in Australia: common questions
Is a media or communications degree from Australia good for migration?
Not particularly. Most communications, PR, and journalism roles are not on the skilled occupation lists. Choose this field for the qualification and experience rather than a migration pathway.
