The Bachelor of Communication (Professional Communication) offers students the opportunity to become interdisciplinary communication practitioners who are valued and highly demanded by employers for their diverse knowledge, skills, and perspectives.
With the flexibility to explore which area of communication students are most interested in pursuing, this degree is designed to equip students with a broad understanding about media and communications, and the principles of effective communication that apply across all disciplines: audience, context, purpose, and message. The benefit of this interdisciplinary approach is that it allows students to move fluidly between disciplines and industries, and giving them countless career options in the future.
This degree strongly integrates theory and practice. In the first part of the degree, students will work and learn with students from other communication disciplines and investigate the advantages of interdisciplinary media skills. They will then be given the opportunity to specialise in a professional communication area of interest.
In a changing environment that’s heavily influenced by cultural trends and advancements in technology, communication empowers people. Become a multi-skilled communicator with cross-platform skills ready for media and communication industries.
In students' third year, they will undertake a professional placement with government departments, media or advertising agencies, community TV, radio stations or consultancies that Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology has existing relationships with, or in an approved placement of their own choosing.
