Communication Majors
Six Majors are offered in the Bachelor or Arts in Communication:
- Information and Media

Each Major integrates theory and practice and is designed to provide the specialist skills and knowledge required by an entrant to a particular industry or creative practice. Major subjects maintain a critical focus on industry while allowing students to develop the well-rounded expertise a practitioner will need in the next decade.
