Bachelor of Journalism/Bachelor of International Studies(Dual degree)

Program Overview

Combining a Bachelor of Journalism degree with a Bachelor of International Studies will allow you to explore global issues as you develop the skills needed to effectively research and communicate these stories on a global scale, across national, cultural and linguistic barriers.

The Bachelor of Journalism provides in-depth hands-on training in journalism, converging media (radio, TV, web, phone, tablet), digital communication and multimedia storytelling. It has a strong professional focus, with an emphasis on practical learning with studio-based studies in multimedia content production. You will learn to research, produce and present entertaining and timely stories through video, audio, print and digital technologies including podcasting and webcasting, working both independently and collaboratively.

International Studies is the analysis, appreciation and understanding of the diversity of the global community. It examines the relationships of politics, society, culture, language, and history in a range of countries. From climate change and global inequalities to international conflict and the movement of refugees, we understand global challenges mainly through journalism and the media.

What you will study

You can choose one major from the Bachelor of International Studies - International Relations, or Global Sustainable Development. As part of the degree, you will also study a language minor, choosing from Mandarin, French, Italian, Japanese or Spanish.

The Bachelor of Journalism has a prescribed set of core subjects, as well as the opportunity to use electives to complete a major or two minors from a multi-disciplinary list.
