The competencies cultivated through this dual degree are highly sought after by employers. Today's dynamic work environment demands strong capabilities in research, analysis, interpretation, conclusion-drawing, and problem-solving. The Bachelor of Arts (Politics & Journalism) unites two academic fields into one cohesive program. Alongside examining domestic and global politics and international affairs, you'll acquire comprehensive training in journalism's multifaceted theories and practices, including legal and ethical responsibilities. Hands-on experience awaits in multiple journalism formats such as print, broadcast, and digital media.
Your education will be enriched by a History course offering crucial insights into Western civilization's evolution from antiquity to modern times. As outlined in the course description, you'll explore "the political dimensions of historical narratives, historians' methodologies regarding evidence and sources, and the craft of historical practice itself." A Business course, Introduction to Public Relations, further develops your ability to engage diverse audiences effectively. The Bachelor of Behavioural Science presents an innovative approach by synthesizing psychology, political science, cultural studies, and sociology. With emphasis on critical psychology, this program bridges conventional psychological studies with social work principles while integrating specialized knowledge from these social science fields.
