Bachelor of Communication (Strategic Communication)
Overview
If you are drawn to communicating with people for a cause or client, the Strategic Communication course at UTS will develop your skills and knowledge for work in creative advertising, strategic public relations and the fast-expanding related areas. Formerly known as ‘Public Communication’, in the industry-focused Bachelor of Communication (Strategic Communication) you will be taught by practitioners and leading researchers in the field to build the skills you’ll need to enter the dynamic and diverse global communication industry. You will research, design and produce campaigns for issues and organisations, as well as develop your copywriting, media liaison and writing skills for digital, traditional and social media. You will gain an understanding of the practical and theoretical bases for the work you do and its application to a variety of industries – from environmental to music to banking organisations – within the social, economic and political contexts in which they operate.
The knowledge and skills you develop are designed to produce effective, ethical and qualified communication professionals and are transferable to a range of work environments. Your work within the course provides you with an array of material for a portfolio to show potential employers.
To increase your career flexibility, you can add a second major from five of the other majors offered in the Bachelor of Communication, and build further skills and portfolios that equip you for a range of work options in media and communication. These courses give you practical and transferrable skills for the expanding media industries. For further information, visit the UTS School of Communication website.
