Ten years ago, communications was still seen
as a “wishy-washy” degree. In 2004,
communications impact upon every area of our
lives – our homes, our work places, our
nation and our planet. A bachelor of communications
degree, with its many areas of specialization,
offers the young adult the chance to be at the
forefront of change in this technology-driven
world.
What does communications mean?
The term “communications” covers a wide range of disciplines. Likewise,
a bachelor of communications degree might offer specializations in such areas
as screen production, film, television, digital media, journalism, public relations,
marketing or the cultural industries. Within each of these areas there is also
scope to specialize. One thing is for sure – a bachelor’s degree
is the key to success in these competitive areas and there is a wide range
of courses on offer.
Choosing which area you would like to specialize
in really depends on your own strengths and your
career aspirations. If you see yourself as a
visually creative person, you may want to train
in visual communications – film and TV.
If words are your tools, you can train to be
a journalist.
Students and companies unwilling to embrace
the convergence between communications and technology
will rapidly be left behind in the 21st century.
If technology is your strength, the field of
digital communications and its subsidiaries continues
to go from strength to strength, as do the bachelor’s
degrees on offer nationwide and online.
Bachelors of communications degrees are popular
and competitive. Try to find one offering practical
and theoretical study. You must have a good high
school record, and be prepared to work hard over
the four years and accept setbacks. If you are
successful, however, the rewards in terms of
job satisfaction and financial security will
make all the effort worthwhile.
