Why study the Bachelor of Communication?
Communication at UQ puts you at the centre of the contemporary information society and economy. You will develop knowledge of communication and communication processes. You will also become a more effective communicator.
Communication straddles many aspects of life and work. In the core courses you will develop understanding and skills in a number of areas: visual, written, multimedia and spoken and interpersonal communication and in researching and exploring communications.
You then specialise by choosing a major in Communication and Culture, Public Relations, Mass Communication or Organisational Communication.
To complete your program, you choose free electives, a second major, or a smaller minor in one of the four areas or in Advertising, Interaction Design, or Health Communication. All combine practice and theory and provide a platform for either employment or further study.
Communication is an expanding area of employment and the Bachelor of Communication is a preparation for careers in public relations, advertising, media planning and analysis; film and television; web design and management; business communication; health promotion, and many more. Further study can lead to careers in teaching communication at all levels.
