GraduateCommunications & Media
Master of Communication
Murdoch University, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
The Master of Communication draws on global research and best practice across social media, cultural and media studies, global communication, and strategic communication, extending students' expertise for application across a range of industries. Students create strategic communication and research plans for real clients through in-class and work-integrated learning experiences, and analyse current communication practices in both international and Australian contexts through case studies led by academics and industry guest speakers. The course examines how leaders, organisations, and interest groups create, coordinate, and direct communication through strategy, planning, and engagement with society, media, and government. As with other communications and media fields, this qualification does not map onto Australia's skilled occupation lists, making it a weaker standalone path to permanent residency. The program is delivered by Murdoch University in Western Australia.
