Bachelor of
Communication
Communication lies at the heart of our contemporary information economies. As a student of communication, you will develop
knowledge of communication and its processes to become a more effective communicator. The courses cover a wide range of
communication forms, including mass media, the Internet, and written and visual texts. You will study a core set of compulsory
courses that teach you about the central features of the communication process, and can specialise in particular areas of
interest to suit your own career goals. You may also study some courses from the wide range of non-communication programs
taught at UQ. You will acquire an array of knowledge and skills highly sought after by employers.
