Diploma in Media and Communications

Program Overview

Make the stories you want to tell happen. Create powerful messages through audio or visual productions and gain the technical skills to bring those narratives to life. 

Are you always asking questions? Do you enjoy telling stories in unique and creative ways? The Media and Communications two-year diploma program gives you the opportunity to excel in a hands-on career in television, radio or film. Learn all facets of the industry and then specialize in what you like best. Our experienced instructors push you to develop your narrative craft, tackle news reporting, and master technical skills. 

Learn how to communicate compelling stories—multiplatform journalism can be found here. Write a story from start to finish, but have the ability to put it into a range of audio and visual formats, including podcasts, documentaries and broadcasts. Develop your passion for television or radio, and hone your craft across a wide range of audiovisual environments. Learn to write, announce, shoot, record, edit and produce. In your final term, focus on an area most interesting to you and develop your niche interest. 

There’s no sitting in a classroom day after day here. Be a college radio personality, produce documentary films, do live television broadcasts on our Westman Newsline television show, and push yourself to find creative ways to showcase your ideas. Every assignment connects you to our broader communities and gives you hands-on opportunities to try new things and gain new skills. During your Capstone project, choose an area of interest and be mentored by a field specialist.

This flexible and comprehensive program will prepare you for entry-level broadcast roles within a team. Graduates have gone on to work with major news and entertainment networks, production houses and digital agencies. An eight-week work practicum at the end of your second year of study helps build on your strengths and gives you the opportunity to make industry connections before graduation. Past practicum partners include Bell Media, CBC, CTV, Global Television and Westman Communications Group.
