Best universities in Australia for Journalism
Journalism sits inside media and communication, and it's a crowded field in Australia. There are 65 registered courses in the subject, spread across 16 providers. That's a lot of choice for a student trying to tell one program from another. You can start at diploma level and work up to a master's degree. In between sit the bachelor's degree, the bachelor honours degree, the graduate certificate and the graduate diploma. Providers range from Collarts to Monash University, Bond University and the University of Queensland. Compare what each level actually gets you before you commit.
