Bachelors of Journalism and BA - Drama in Brisbane Australia | The University of Queensland

Journalism is a dynamic profession that offers opportunities to interact with diverse individuals and explore new places. At its core, journalism revolves around information - uncovering, gathering, organizing, examining, and sharing facts. To excel in this field, journalists need strong language abilities, media literacy, awareness of current events, and extensive general knowledge. By pursuing a BA degree, students enhance their capabilities in written expression, analytical reasoning, creative problem-solving, and social awareness. The BA program provides numerous specialization options, enabling students to either enhance their journalism focus (through subjects like Economics, International Relations, Public Policy, or Popular Music) or diversify their expertise (with studies in languages, Criminology, or Psychology), thereby increasing their career prospects across various journalism sectors.

Observing and analyzing professional productions, studying global theatrical works spanning two millennia, and refining acting techniques: These experiences define UQ's Drama program. Students explore theatrical traditions across different eras and cultures while examining the nature of performance - not just in traditional theater settings but in literature and daily interactions. The curriculum covers dramatic theory and practice, from classical Greek tragedies to contemporary works from Australia, Asia-Pacific, America, and Europe. No audition is required, though advanced performance opportunities are available for interested students.
