Overview

Bachelor of Global Media and Communication

This International Dual Degree provides you with an opportunity to gain valuable international experience while receiving two degrees.

Graduates will receive both a Bachelor of Global Media and Communication from ECU, and a BA (Hons) Global Communications and Media from the University of Portsmouth (UK).

It focuses on providing a critical understanding of global media, practical industry skills, cultural contexts, and professional communication, and fosters a creative and critical global mindset.

The choice of units will help you navigate complexity and diversity in a rapidly changing work environment. 

Specializations are available in either Media and Journalism or Screen, Media, and Cultural Studies providing relevant industry skills and a comprehensive transdisciplinary understanding of media production, consumption, and representation.

The first two years of the course and the final semester (fourth year) are delivered at ECU's Mount Lawley campus. The third year (full-time) is delivered at the University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth, United Kingdom.

Clinical or professional work placement option

In the core unit, SAH3200 Industry and Community (which is mandatory for all those who enroll in the Global Media and Communication degree) students will produce work in the form of a presentation, performance, exhibition, strategic report, or research project that will be driven and assessed by a community and/or industry representative.
