Honours in Media
Aims and Objectives of the Program
In line with the spirit of innovation and creativity, the aim of the Honours program is to provide students with a stronger and more focused intellectual context in which to carry out research in their areas of specialisation in the media. It is designed to extend the academic and creative synergies of the Bachelor Degree into higher degree and professional industry application. It is expected that by the end of the program students would be able to carry out independent research in either a higher degree or an industry-related specialisation. It is also expected that students would have developed awareness and critical skills necessary for a proper understanding of the ethical implications of professional and scholarly conduct
The Bachelor of Media Honours program recognises the importance and diversity of intellectual demands in a changing world. It enables students to develop skills in their chosen areas of specialisation within the Media program through a two-pathway structure: academic and creative.
The academic pathway is for students who want to pursue the traditional critical and analytic research honours degree structure.
The creative pathway is for students who want to combine practical with analytical inquiry in any of the production specialisations of the Media discipline.
