Overview

Bachelor of Communication (Journalism)

Journalism is an exciting and broad career option for those interested in investigating world issues like politics, climate change, or global relations and sharing their findings with the public. 

It combines writing, production, research, and critical thinking skills to develop students’ capacities to frame world issues and affairs in accessible and relevant ways. 

UTS teaches journalism on the principle that it is a public good and that any functional society requires free and robust media. 

Situated in the heart of Sydney near the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the Bachelor of Communication (Journalism) is a practice-based course. 

It provides opportunities to engage with accurate reporting through UTS Central News and industry leaders like ABC, The Guardian, and more.

The Bachelor of Communication (Journalism) gives students a crucial understanding of journalists' role in a democracy. Journalism provides a forum for public debate and gives voice to all communities. 

Through hands-on practice, students also gain the skills in production, digital content creation, news reporting and analysis, and writing required to excel in this diverse industry. 

Industrial training/professional practice

Students participate in relevant and applied journalism tasks throughout the course and must undertake a professional internship with a media organisation.
