2021 Changes for the Bachelor of Journalism
We have recently completed a review of the Bachelor of Journalism (BJ) and have made some minor changes to this program for students commencing in Semester 1, 2021.
When viewing the 2020 BJ course list on the Programs and Courses website, you can change which year you are viewing using the dropdown box near the top right of the list to compare the 2021 BJ with the pre-2021 program.
The changes we have made to this program will affect students commencing in Semester 1, 2021.
As a continuing student, you will be able to complete your current program and there will be no substantive change to your program requirements.
