Global Communication and Media (Dual Degree - Edith Cowan University) BA (Hons), with a year abroad

Set yourself up for a career as a global media professional capable of navigating this challenging yet exciting environment with the Global Communication and Media dual degree.

You'll study in Portsmouth and spend a year at Edith Cowan University in Perth, Western Australia, graduating with two degrees; one from each institution.

Entertainment and information media influence almost every aspect of our lives, while the rise of global communication technologies has transformed how we consume, create, and share media across social, cultural, geographic, political, and economic divides. This course explores all these areas, offering you a wide range of choices to shape the direction of your learning.

It's predicted the world’s entertainment and media sector revenue will grow to be worth more than $2.6 trillion by 2025 (PWC, 2021). This should create a significant demand for media and communications graduates.

When you complete this course, you'll have the knowledge and professional skills that will set you up for a career in media and communications in the UK and beyond, in public or private organisations or as a freelancer.

You could also use the communication, team working and research skills you develop in other sectors.
