However, an ability to write well, creative talent and an interest in current affairs, politics and media issues are highly desirable. Certain sequences of units as pre-requisites may be set down, once a student begins the program. As part of the Communications degree, students have the opportunity to participate in an Internship program. This is a six-week industry placement in an area of employment related to their studies. The Internship provides relevant work experience in one's chosen field and often leads to valuable contacts and employment opportunities.
Students arrange the placement themselves, in discussion with their lecturers.
