Program aim
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.
Career options
journalist, public relations officer, Internet researcher
