Program Overview

Double degrees allow you to deepen your knowledge and expertise within two separate study areas. This means you can choose from our range of exciting, diverse courses and embark on a journey as unique as you are.

Major: Media and Communication
From our 24-hour news cycle and endless streaming services to social media posts building brands and inspiring social change, media and communication connect every aspect of our personal and professional lives. Media and communication graduates are sought by many industries looking for people whose understanding of media goes beyond their own favourite shows and social media accounts. An understanding of media and communication opens doors to a wide range of exciting careers.

Our island campus of Tasmania is the start of your journey. The Media School is uniquely co-located with leading media organisations in Hobart. You will bump shoulders and share facilities with practitioners from the news, communication and the screen industries. Outside, you're a short walk from Parliament House, the courts, museums, galleries and performance spaces, and Hobart's docks, which are the world's scientific gateway to Antarctica.

This major is tailored for students curious about media from a cultural and sociological perspective. Who are the content makers and who are the audiences? Who are the influencers and how are do we understand their influence? Students will learn skills in media analysis and develop their skills in research and professional writing.
