With unprecedented advancement in technology and the increasing globalisation of business enterprises, strategic communication and critical thinking skills are a highly valued, modern-day commodity. Deakin University’s Graduate Diploma of Communication gives students the specialist knowledge and skills to empower them to thrive in roles that influence and shape opinion.
Students can tailor their degree to their career goals – undertake intensive study in journalism, television production, public relations, digital media or visual communication design, or explore cross-disciplinary study. Enjoy a flexible, supported and stimulating learning environment, while collaborating with like-minded students, including those already working in industry. Learn from experienced staff and experts in the field, who ensure the course content stays up-to-date with the latest technological advances, industry demands and market conditions.
Students will explore theoretical concepts and frameworks and learn how to apply them in a practical setting. With internship and work-integrated learning (WIL) opportunities available, students can enhance their employment capabilities while expanding professional networks.
The Graduate Diploma of Communication is also an articulation pathway into the Master of Communication. Should students be interested in continuing their studies, they can apply for recognition of prior learning (RPL) upon successful completion of this course.
Whether looking to upskill, change roles or challenge themselves in a new discipline, students will graduate a holistic and adaptable communications practitioner well-prepared for the inevitable industry advances, challenges and opportunities yet to come.
