Bachelor of Media and Communications (Honours)

In thesis units, students will conduct independent research that investigates an original topic in media and communication and complete an 18,000 to 20,000-word thesis supervised by an approved supervisor who is an expert in the specialist field.

You may need to arrange a supervisor before you apply. You should contact the honours coordinator in the relevant faculty or school for information about honours projects and potential supervisors. It is best to find a supervisor with experience in your topic area, and you may need to meet with your proposed supervisor to see if they are able to supervise your honours program and discuss your proposed research topic. You should provide evidence of their support with your application.

The standard closing dates are Semester 1 - 15 January of the commencing year, and Semester 2 - 25 June of the commencing year. The University strongly encourages applicants to apply as early as possible, as offers are made on a rolling basis and places are limited. Separate scholarship deadlines also apply.

The Bachelor of Media and Communications (Honours) has two intake dates: Semester 1 starting in February and Semester 2 starting in August.

In seminar units, students will study key theories and methods in media and communication research, design methodological approaches, and contextualise their work within a broader intellectual landscape.
