Bond’s dedicated Career Development Centre assists students in finding an internship and work experience, allowing them to further develop their skill set. Students will also be able to find mentors that are interested in and influential to their career ambitions. At Bond, students learn from nationally and internationally recognised academics in a collaborative environment. Students will experience Bond’s small class sizes and a hands-on approach to learning that optimises their educational experience.

The Bachelor of Communication offers students the ideal mix of theory and practice, combining foundational studies in Communication and Media with focused studies in the professional disciplines of Public Relations, Advertising and Journalism. It also allows students to pursue focused studies in the fields of Communication & Society, Corporate Storytelling, Creative Writing, Digital Media, Film & TV, Media Studies, and Social Media as well as a combination of these fields. Altogether, the degree offers students a stimulating course of study and excellent career prospects.

Professional outcomes:

Students are immersed in a range of professional experiences to give them a taste for the media careers to which they are aspiring. At the same time a sound theoretical framework underpins the studies so that students enter the communication and media industries understanding how to perform professional tasks and also knowing why such tasks are important to their work. Graduates could expect to find employment as an Account Manager, Copywriter, Event Coordinator, Journalist, Marketing Manager, Media Buyer or Public Relations Practitioner.

Journalism

From listicles through to longform investigative reporting and web documentaries, true stories have the potential to hold power to account, right unfair structures, document social, historical and environmental issues, entertain audiences and reflect and define culture. Journalism has expanded beyond legacy media (print and broadcast) to embrace digital transformation and journalistic skills are now being sought and applied across industries. This discipline is grounded in core journalistic traditions and values of truth, fairness and accuracy but with a digital-first ethos. In this major, you will harness and exploit established and emerging technologies to create career opportunities and new pathways. You will develop a portfolio of original content across a wide range of platforms and are encouraged to explore established and emerging digital storytelling technologies and techniques.
