At Murdoch University, our Journalism program is a dynamic and forward-thinking course designed to equip students with the skills needed to thrive in the digital era of news. This industry- focused program seamlessly integrates theoretical knowledge with practical expertise, preparing students for diverse roles within professional news organisations. Throughout the degree, journalism students engage in hands-on experiences, working on real-world projects both within our on-campus student creative consultancy, MESH.

In our Journalism course, students delve into comprehensive learning modules that cover the entire spectrum of modern journalism, including gathering information and producing editorial content in various formats such as text, audio, video, and multimedia. Some of our students have had the chance to intern at the ABC, the West, Channel Seven, The Fremantle Herald, and others in Perth.

Our curriculum is not just about skill development; it also emphasises the critical examination of the ethical, legal, and cultural contexts of the media. Journalism students engage in in-depth analyses of the profound influence that journalism has on society, navigating the rapidly changing landscape of news delivery in the contemporary world.
