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

Journalism offers a dynamic career path filled with opportunities to interact with diverse individuals and explore new places. At its core, journalism revolves around information - uncovering, gathering, organizing, examining, and sharing it. 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, problem-solving, and social comprehension. The BA program provides numerous major options to either supplement journalism studies (like Economics, International Relations, Public Policy, or Popular Music) or explore different disciplines (such as languages, Criminology, or Psychology), thereby widening potential journalism career paths.
