Overview

Bachelor of Design and Bachelor of Media Communication

The design and media communication sector is a flourishing global industry. 

This double degree provides you with a creative, next-generation skill set that will open multiple opportunities for you to work in, contribute to, and shape the future of contemporary communication.

This double degree allows you to develop specialist design skills in Communication, Industrial, Spatial or Collaborative Design, combined with Media Communication where you can choose between four specialisations in journalism, media, public relations or screen.

This degree fosters a new generation of thinkers, future-driven design and media communication professionals who will dare to create positive change across all endeavours and shape the future of contemporary design and communication.

This course leads to two separate degrees. Depending upon your specialisation, you will be awarded one of:

  • Bachelor of Communication Design,

and

  • Bachelor of Media Communication.

In the design part of your studies you'll learn in a studio setting from Monash academics, practising designers and top researchers as you learn how to use design as a problem-solving tool in hands-on, practical studios.

In Media Communication you can choose between four specialisations: journalism, media, public relations or screen. 

You’ll learn from leading industry professionals developing your practical and work-ready skills and graduate ready to shape the future of contemporary art, media and communication.

There is no design folio or interview entrance requirement for this course. It's open to anyone who is curious and passionate to make a difference and you will learn the technical capabilities and strategic skills to be a successful designer.
