Overview

The Bachelor of Media (Honours) is a one year program that includes advanced coursework and a research project in which students produce an extended piece of work (thesis) on a topic chosen in consultation with an academic supervisor.

Students learn new techniques and theoretical approaches, broadening their skill base and providing a competitive edge in the job market.

Honours is the normal prerequisite for entry to a Higher Degree by Research at the Master and Doctor of Philosophy levels, and is also valued by many employers.
