Masters Degree (Coursework) Arts/Social Sciences (Combined) - Journalism and Communication A

This program provides postgraduate students with the opportunity to study two complementary programs offered in UNSW Arts and Social Sciences to create a combined two year Masters program in professional and interdisciplinary areas. The Combined Masters degree program offers students an interdisciplinary combination of programs that will substantially extend and deepen their existing skills, knowledge and understanding in professionally relevant areas of study and teach advanced skills in analytical thinking and research.
The Master of Journalism and Communication (MJC) provides its graduates with a professionally relevant and academically rigorous education in journalism, media and communication. Students will acquire a portfolio of skills in media practice, equipping them for work in print, radio, television and online media, and in the media relations and corporate communication sectors. Students will develop a knowledge of the social, economic and political role of media in Australia and internationally, and will gain an understanding of the evolving nature of the convergent media landscape. They will also develop critical thinking and research skills, equipping them for practice as ethical, critically reflective media professionals. Course content draws on the work of international scholarship on journalism, media and communication, and students are encouraged to reflect on varied international approaches to media and communication practice.
