Graduate Diploma in Multimedia Journalism

Applicants typically require a 3- or 4-year bachelor's degree in an unrelated field from a recognised tertiary education institution, or a Graduate Certificate (applicants may be eligible for credit for recognised learning). Students who have completed a bachelor's degree in journalism, or any previous versions of the course at Curtin University, are not eligible for entry to this course.

You must meet Curtin's English language requirements. The IELTS Academic requirements are: Writing 7, Speaking 7, Reading 6.5, Listening 6.5, and an Overall band score of 7. If you've completed a different English test or qualification, you may be able to use it to meet this requirement by checking accepted English tests, qualifications and required scores on Curtin's English language requirements page.

The 2026 domestic indicative first-year fee is $24,446. This is based on a first-year full-time study load of 200 credit points. Your fees will vary depending on the units you choose. This indicative fee does not include other fees like administrative and incidental fees or the cost of textbooks. This is a domestic fee-paying (DFP) place, meaning it is not Commonwealth supported, though students may be eligible for FEE-HELP assistance.

The Master of Multimedia Journalism takes 1 year and 6 months to complete if studied full-time. Part-time study is also available.
