Communications degrees at Notre Dame offer students the opportunity to graduate with aptitudes and communications skills in a variety of workplaces, using a range of contemporary technologies. Students may choose units in a standard progressive sequence, or they may specialise, building a qualification to suit their career aspirations. Many students take a Communications degree as a combined degree with Law, Commerce, Marketing, Tourism or Electronic Commerce. Others take Communications as a second major in a different professional degree. The two major areas of specialisation are Media, Radio, Film and Television, and Information and Communications Technologies.
Students decide their own emphases in association with course advisers.
Seventy-two credit points in total are required for the degree. There is a mandatory six weeks industry placement, called the Internship. Students can achieve a double degree, combining a Bachelor of Communications degree, or Bachelor of Arts with a major in Communications, and a second degree in a different discipline. The following units are available for study as part of the Communications degrees at Notre Dame. Not all units are offered in all semesters.
