Overview

Bachelor of Communication (Digital and Social Media)

One of the first communication courses to focus on social media and digital technologies, the Bachelor of Communication (Digital and Social Media) at UTS ensures students become capable practitioners of the modern formats of digital communication. 

This rapidly evolving industry requires workers to be technologically literate, culturally aware, and innovative, with an ability to analyse and develop solutions to problems using digital media technologies. 

In the course, students are introduced to critical debates about social media's role as a communication tool and its prevalence in daily life. 

They also develop transferable, practical skills in social media management, user experience (UX) and user interface design (UI), and data visualisation and analysis.

Through case study analysis and applied learning, the Bachelor of Communication (Digital and Social Media) offers a comprehensive understanding of digital and social media as a social phenomenon and a future career pathway. 

Students focus on practical exercises to develop user engagement strategies, build app development prototypes, and understand the intricacies of social media communication. 

By the end of the course, students have built a sizeable portfolio of work to show to employers and assist their entry into a large job market.

Industrial training/professional practice

Students can elect to undertake a professional internship in industry.
