Global Media and Communication
Contemporary graduates will confront the opportunities and challenges of globalisation in both their work and personal lives. The global reach of the media and communication industries, and the cultural diversity generated by new virtual workplaces, both create a demand for graduates with a grounding in international media and communication studies.
This area of study focuses on strengthening skills in negotiating cultural difference and diversity, introducing students to international media networks and infrastructure, and on building capacity among students to produce and interpret media content within a range of local, national and international contexts. It draws from a range of disciplines. At its core, the Global Media and Communication area of study is designed to produce graduates who have a cosmopolitan outlook and a strong sense of their opportunities and responsibilities as global media citizens.
