Bachelor of Communication Journalism Structure at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Australia
The program consists of 24 courses in three strands:
Professional Strand
The professional core of the program is a blend of practical and theoretical subject areas.
Practical courses:
Designed to introduce you to the basic skills required for a career in journalism.
The core courses include a thorough grounding in the fundamental reporting and news writing skills required for all journalism platforms. Further courses develop expertise in specific areas such as radio, television and online reporting and advanced print reporting techniques. You will also learn print, online, radio and television production skills through hands-on experience with the program’s newspaper and online journal and live radio and television news bulletins.
Theoretical courses: The complex ethical issues that confront practising journalists are explored in all core journalism courses. The theories which underpin journalistic practice, the role of journalism in society and ethics are covered in-depth in specific courses.
Communication Strand
All students in the Bachelor of Communication (Journalism) are required to take four Communication Strand courses.
Communication and Social Relations
Communication Histories and Technologies
Communication Debates and Approaches
An approved communication elective
Contextual Studies Strand
You must complete a major in contextual studies. A major consists of five courses from one of the following fields:
Asian Media and Culture
Cinema Studies
Politics, Economies, Communication
Literature and Philosophy
You must also complete three general student electives, usually in different fields from that chosen for your major.
The contextual studies component of the program ensures that graduates bring a broad academic grounding to their subsequent work in the industry.
