The Journalism News Room and Media Lab are located on Level 3 of the Humanities Building, while the television studios are located in the Audio-Visual Services area of the University Centre, the main teaching building on campus. Bond University prides itself on its personalised tuition. The newsroom mode allows working journalists to build their daily work into their studies.
Journalists can complete the degree in a minimum of two years of part-time study.
Unlike other distance education programs, this course is tailored to meet the needs of the individual journalist. Assessment for each subject is negotiated directly with your professor and a learning contract is drawn up and signed by both parties. This allows journalists to concentrate their studies in their fields of interest and expertise. For example, a journalist specialising in political reporting might focus the assessment of all six subjects in this area. Alternatively, he or she might choose to study political reporting for only one or two subjects and complement this with studies in, for example, media law and online journalism.
