UndergraduateCommunications & Media
Bachelor of Communication
Murdoch University, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
The Bachelor of Communication covers digital communication, social media, creative production and news media, examining how messages shape public opinion, influence behaviour and connect organisations with audiences. Students gain industry experience through the university's Work Integrated Learning program and deliver communication strategies for live clients through the on-campus creative consultancy, MESH. An international exchange program allows students to complete a semester overseas. The degree can be tailored through majors in Communication and Media Studies, Digital Communication, Journalism and Content Production or Strategic Communication, and graduates build a professional portfolio of real projects. Communications and media roles are largely absent from Australia's skilled occupation lists, so this degree is a weaker standalone pathway to a points-based skilled visa, though a 485 graduate visa remains available to eligible international graduates. This course is delivered by Murdoch University in Western Australia.
