Graduate in Journalism Structure at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Australia

To graduate you must complete the following:
Semester One of Program
AND Semester Two of Program

The Graduate Diploma represents an intensive learning program that offers a blend of practical and reflective elements. It is designed to give graduates a strong appreciation of what it takes to think about and write news.

There are approximately 12 contact hours a week and students should expect to spend at least another 24 hours week on watching, reading and listening to news, class preparation, research and assignments.

The program is taught by lecturers with extensive professional and academic experience whose backgrounds cover radio, television and online journalism, newspaper and magazine journalism, specialist reporting and news organisation management.

Activities may include working on 3RRR news radio news bulletins, Channel 31 TV news program, Newsline and the program’s online and print newspaper, The City Journal.

While students are acquiring these vocational skills they are being taught the ethics, laws and regulations that govern the profession: from deadline-driven decision making, to the ethical and legal challenges of more involved and complex research projects.

These program components reinforce RMIT Journalism’s strong links with industry, sustained through the program’s extensive work placement scheme. Students are given the opportunity to spend time in newsrooms from regional, interstate and metropolitan newspaper, radio, television and online media outlets.

Graduates are also eligible to apply for a limited number of overseas work placement scholarships, which are offered in January-February after graduation.
