“I had the ambition to not only go farther... but to go as far as it was possible to go.”Captain James CookJames Cook (1728-1779) was a remarkable navigator and explorer, whose legacy is still with us. His three voyages across the Pacific had profound influence on many areas of human endeavour: astronomy, marine surveying, cartography, geography, natural history and anthropology.

With its campuses and study centres throughout Queensland and in Singapore, internationally awarded JCU is a wise choice for students seeking a high-ranking, culturally diverse education that will equip them to make a difference in their world. JCU students have unique opportunities to gain academic knowledge and genuine, real-life experience Australian and international employers are looking for.

The University’s tropical location and proximity to World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and the rainforests of the Wet Tropics Region have strongly influenced the course options offered. More than 40 per cent of the world’s population now lives in the tropics and this is likely to be close to 50 per cent by 2050. The region generates around 20 per cent of global economic output and is home to some 80 per cent of the world’s biodiversity. JCU is recognised worldwide for the quality of research and educational programs that further tropical knowledge – ecology, medicine, environment, sustainability and marine biology.

Named after Captain James Cook (1728-1779), the remarkable navigator and explorer who was the first to map the coastline of eastern Australia, JCU also maintains a deep commitment to the Indigenous peoples of Australia. Few universities provide the breadth of Indigenous educational opportunities that

JCU offers. The whole University community values and celebrates the achievements of its many distinguished Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, graduates and staff.

An over-riding goal of the University is that when JCU students graduate, they will possess internationally-recognised qualifications, as well as leadership skills and self-reliance that will help each one take their place in the career of their choice and make a valuable contribution to local and global communities.

“Working with some great lecturers and tutors at James Cook University was one of the highlights

of my degree. As photography involves such a wide range of techniques and technological

aspects, having knowledgeable advisors in practical environments meant the learning was a

lot more enjoyable and effective.”Kristof Schrader

Multimedia Journalism

What is Multimedia Journalism? The Bachelor of Multimedia Journalism provides the digital media skills required for contemporary journalism careers, and prepares students to narrate stories using video, audio and text.

Course overviewThe Bachelor of Multimedia Journalism prepares students to enter a digital media world where stories are told across multiple platforms – radio, TV, print and online. Journalists are no longer expected to exclusively work in one medium. They are expected to be storytellers using a variety of digital tools – video cameras, audio recorders, digital cameras, and computers. Audiences are seeking fresh, innovative ways in which to get their news – from videos to audio and pictures, as well as text and through social networks.

As a student in this course, you will prepare your own stories on a digital media platform, JCNN. This will give you real world experience in writing stories, filming news and producing audio pieces for a real audience, as well as producing a portfolio of work.

Special attention will be paid to key roles including collecting sound, visual material, and helping to produce the media platform, JCNN. You will gain editing skills to get the stories out to deadline.

Such real-life skills are complemented by studying a variety of subjects in creative arenas such as graphic design, photography, web authoring or digital music technology, as well as critically analysing the changing role of the journalist in today’s society.

You will gain an understanding of the language of news, as well as learning how to work within the legal and ethical frameworks expected in professional practice.

Course highlightsYou will enjoy small class sizes and good interaction with lecturers.

As well as working as journalists, editors and producers for the media platform, JCNN, students will spend time in the media industry, in TV, radio, print or multimedia as interns. The course incorporates work integrated learning from Level 1 (first year).

Career opportunitiesTomorrow’s journalists will be working primarily for the web. Students will have a portfolio of multimedia work at the end of their degree. This will prepare them to enter the digital media industry.

In addition to their journalistic skills, depending on their choice of subjects, graduates will have skills in web design, graphic design, digital storytelling, photography, and digital manipulation to add to their career skills.
