The Bachelor of E-Journalism degree combines traditional journalism studies and E-Journalism courses with introductory multimedia and internet offerings.

The program allows students to tailor their study to meet their individual needs.  Students will be able to design a program to satisfy entry requirements of professional societies, for example the Media Alliance of Australia, the professional body for journalism practitioners in Australia.

The multidisciplinary 'core' of the degree provides an understanding of the social, political and cultural significance of journalism in the Internet age as well as the technical skills and knowledge required for effective internet communication.  The 'specialisations' in the degree enable students to apply their skills, and develop further knowledge, in areas of particular interest.  Graduates will be well equipped to adapt to the constantly changing environment of the Information Age.

To obtain a Bachelor of E-Journalism, a student must complete a total of 24 courses as follows:

• 8 compulsory courses;
• 6 advanced journalism courses;
• at least 6 courses taken from any 1 of the areas of specialisation;
• 4 elective courses  - these courses may be selected so as to add greater depth to the specialisation areas of study or may be selected to create a second specialisation.  Up to 6 courses may be selected from any Faculty in the University so as to add greater breadth to the program of study.

Note: Normally no more than 10 Level 1 courses may be credited towards the degree.
