Media Career Adelaide
Enrolments in the University of Adelaide’s Media degree have risen sharply thanks to a revamped, flexible degree program with new areas of specialisation and greater relevance for career paths.
The degree program has this year added three areas of specialisation (or majors) to choose from: marketing, media production, and journalism, in addition to the choice of a liberal arts major.
Uni interns are spread across a wide range of sectors – traditional TV, radio, print and now online media and also interns across film, print and online publishing, advertising, marketing and public relations, sports organisations, government, the not-for-profit sector, and the corporate sector.
This diversity helps to demonstrate the employability of the graduates.
Within the specialisations the University also offers a lot of choice for students, including marketing, journalism, and media production. Media production is offered in collaboration with the Creative Industries Centre, Tea Tree Gully (TAFE SA), and can span digital and photographic media, computer game art, visual effects, or a new stream starting in 2014, graphic design. The articulation pathway from TAFE to university into Bachelor of Media degree is also quite popular.
