Program Overview

Culminating with a Bachelor of Communications from Curtin University, the Diploma of Arts and Creative Industries is your pathway into a range of Bachelor of Communications streams.

The Bachelor of Communications encourages creativity, versatility and strong visual presentation and communication. It is a dynamic degree that will suit your personal interests and goals, be that in the rapidly expanding world of media and corporate communications; the industry, commerce, education or government sectors; or the creative vision of a design agency.


Leading to: Bachelor of Communications

Communication professionals are multi-talented experts who can communicate information across the media and corporate landscape to a large number of people.

This wide-spanning and flexible degree will provide you with key technological skills and knowledge, as well as an understanding of the issues and debates that concern media, communication and information in the world today.

The core units will give you an insight into a range of media issues and communication contexts, teaching you the technical skills for your professional ambitions and also the flexibility and critical awareness that comes with a broader intellectual understanding of media and corporate communications. You also have electives that you can use to extend your studies or broaden your skills by selecting units from other disciplines. All the disciplines have a strong connection with professional practice and feature opportunities to apply your practical skills and understandings. Students from different areas of study are encouraged to work together as they progress through the program on projects that reflect the nature of the evolving media, mass communication and creative industries and how they interact with the corporate and business communities.
