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.
See the course handbook for more information.
Studying honours teaches you: training in research skills and in information systems (archives, the Library, databases and electronic research networks); opportunity to practise articulating complex ideas orally and in writing; experience in working closely with a supervisor on a project and in preparing a major project to meet a deadline; and experience in devising, researching and writing up an individual topic of study in an extended argument or thesis.
Honours in communication and media will give you the skills to develop a communication project, aid your understanding of the industry while providing critical experience in preparation for future employment. Whatever your interest or passion, UOW will help you grow into a multi-skilled media-savvy professional.
