Summary
Students studying the Bachelor of Communication at Wintec will learn the art of storytelling through content creation, campaign delivery and digital marketing within the communication industry.
With practical assessments, work-integrated learning, real clients, and industry experience consistently applied through each year of study; this degree gives students the tools to build a dynamic network from day one, developing a digital portfolio and strong professional-personal brand to giving them an advantage with future employers.
Students develop strong writing and communication knowledge through both creative media and digital marketing foundations in their core learning. They will also develop expertise in their chosen endorsement through project roles and elective choices, with the opportunity to further specialise in their third year. In their third year, students choose from two endorsement options to specialise in: * Creative media
