• social media strategy, engagement, and content creation
• critical and analytical thinking is required for the strategic planning and management of communication and media
• communication and media research
• media law and Ethics

Studying communication and media at UniSA gives you the flexibility to select a sub-major so that you can specialize in fields such as journalism, film and television, social media, marketing, or digital media. 

A social media sub-major would be highly desirable in a social media management role, while a journalism sub-major would prepare you for media advisor roles. 

If you're interested in digital content, then a digital media sub-major may be for you. 

Other popular sub-majors include marketing, film and television, tourism, and event management.

You will also select two electives, enabling you to further build on your skills and knowledge. 

There is a focus on professional practice, and during your final year, you will get the opportunity to complete an industry placement working in a public relations, social media, communication management, or media role.

Gain valuable real-world experience when you complete a final-year industry placement or project.
