Bachelor of Arts - Communication Studies

Communication and Media Studies examines a range of contemporary questions, including who controls the media and why, how communication operates in today’s globalised world, and how different media technologies are developed, used and targeted. The field critically explores the role and evolution of communication and media in modern society.
