From climate change to global inequalities, international conflict to the movement of refugees, we understand global challenges mainly through media. Media and communications are distributed across many platforms, and messages from these platforms, especially the internet, are being broadcast across national, cultural and linguistic barriers. Global media and communication explores the cultural, commercial and social aspects of this phenomenon. The Bachelor of International Studies examines the relationships of politics, society, culture, language, and history in a range of countries. You will analyse national and global issues, focusing on the way global forces and interactions increasingly influence domestic politics. You will also be encouraged to study abroad or undertake a study tour. The Faculty's study tour subjects currently focus on war history and incorporate visits to Gallipoli and the Western Front. What you will study: Core subjects will have you exploring social justice, interventions and networking, and communicating across cultures. You will develop skills in negotiating cultural difference and diversity, and will be able produce and interpret media content within a diverse range of local, national and international contexts. As part of the degree, you will also study a language minor, and you can choose from Mandarin, French, Italian, Japanese or Spanish.
