Through self-directed, team and problem-based learning strategies that require active participation in the community, students will learn to value ethical conduct, intellectual integrity, diversity and social justice principles. All Bachelor of Communication students undertake a common first year covering general communications theory and practice. Students can then choose a specialist major to suit their career aspirations.

The exceptional merit pathway(EMP) will offer those students who demonstrate an aptitude and ability in the area of Communications to receive a direct offer. Students will be required to present a portfolio, and take part in one or more workshops and/or submit a written assessment, in addition to participating in an interview, during one of a series of on-campus Young Creatives events. Successful completion of the EMP requirements will result in a direct entry offer for the following year. Though a non-ATAR pathway, eligibility to accept the direct offer will be contingent on the successful completion of the HSC. Students who participate in this program but do not qualify for a direct offer would be eligible for a conditional offer, with the additional requirement of an ATAR of 55+.
