Communications
The Communications major at Monash University Gippsland responds to a need and demand for graduates who are knowledgeable about communications and who can apply that knowledge to a range of vocational and academic areas.
What is Communications at Monash?
Communications is an interdisciplinary major offering a range of units designed to equip students with specialised but flexible skills in describing and analysing the organisation, production, processes, diverse uses and effects of 'traditional' and 'new' communications technologies, as these are integral components of modern societies. The major will also provide an understanding of the practical operation of these media as well as the social, political and cultural dimensions of communications, by considering the audiences, producers and policy-makers involved. The study program is extremely flexible, allowing emphasis on: theories of communication; media institutions; cultural technologies and audiences; communications processes; effective communication and public relations; historical and cultural studies; social and political impact of media; policy studies and communications futures.
