The Bachelor of Design and Bachelor of Media Communication is a unique, globally-relevant double degree offering that blends the visual language of design with the narrative skills of professional communication. The double degree offers a practice-led program of education that will empower you with the analytical and critical thinking skills required for a changing world. It brings together the opportunity for journalism, media, screen, and public relations to intersect with Collaborative, Communication, Industrial or Spatial Design. The business of communication is a flourishing global industry, increasingly enabled by digital and visual literacy, emergent technologies and media-rich communities. The intersection of these two complementary degrees provides you with a creative, next-generation skill set in design and media that opens multiple opportunities to work in, contribute to, and shape the future of contemporary communication.
