This double degree ensures you have the advanced writing and production skills needed for a career in the news industry, as well as the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed for a career in creative, professional and technical writing.
You will explore historical and contemporary fiction, non-fiction, poetry, autobiographies, essays and plays, as well as news and feature writing, broadcast, print and online journalism. Our on-campus facilities, which include a TV and radio studio, will ensure you graduate career-ready and offer you the opportunity to practice recording news broadcasts, producing, and filming with state-of-the-art technology.
You will then get the chance to practice these skills in a real-world environment when you complete an internship or industry project during your final year. This is a great opportunity for you to develop your skills and build important industry networks. If you finish your degree with a credit or higher grade point average (GPA) you could also be eligible for the one-year Bachelor of Arts (Honours).
The broad nature of this double degree means you will develop skills across a range of genres and will graduate with writing, editing and production skills that will be useful across a range of writing roles.
This is South Australia’s only journalism degree and our graduates are some of the most recognisable personalities in the media landscape, with many going on to secure positions with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), The Advertiser and The Australian, as well as on commercial radio and TV networks.
We also offer state-of-the-art on-campus facilities, including a TV studio that boasts one of South Australia’s largest green screens, a radio studio, and editing suites. This means you will graduate with plenty of practical experience. You can even be part of the University’s own radio station, which is broadcast live on the internet, our TV show, which airs on Channel 44, or get your work published in our online student publications, On the Record and Piping Shrike. An industry internship during your final year will help to further develop these practical skills and is a great way to build important industry networks.
Many of our lecturers have extensive news industry experience, which means you will be well-informed of major issues facing working writers today. You will benefit from the University’s excellent industry connections – these connections will assist you as you begin to create and build a professional network. In your final year, you will also have the opportunity to complete an industry internship and to present your work to a panel of industry hirers. Many of our past graduates have secured their first job through this opportunity. We also host regular University-wide employee master classes and employment expos, and alumni events in Australia and overseas.
