University of Wollongong

Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia

Bachelor of Communication and Media (Honours)

If you are doing, or have done particularly well in your Bachelor of Communication and Media degree, you should consider an honours year.

The Bachelor of Communication and Media degree will have introduced you to a wide range of topics and problems, and an honours project will enable you to explore these ideas in much greater depth. Honours research topics are various and negotiable. If you are really interested in a topic and want to find answers, you'll be encouraged and supported.

From a potential employer's perspective, your ability to achieve a complex goal, meet deadlines, investigate independently, use resources effectively and write coherently are highly valued attributes.

The honours year has a number of functions at UOW; as an in-depth project at the end of undergraduate study, and as a bridge between undergraduate study and advanced research. It may also afford you the opportunity to explore future career options.
