The Bachelor of Communication is a three-year undergraduate degree designed to prepare graduates for careers in journalism, public relations, and communication advising. It does not require prior specific subject knowledge. The Graduate Diploma in Journalism is a 120-point, one-year full-time programme for graduates looking to enter print, broadcast, or online journalism. It provides intensive training in essential journalism skills, including media ethics, digital newsgathering, multimedia reporting, and research.
