What it isYou study how to report news, investigate stories, and communicate through written and digital media. Unlike a general media or communications program, journalism focuses specifically on gathering facts, interviewing sources, and producing news for publication. This program suits people who want to understand how information reaches the public and who are curious about current events and storytelling.You study visual art, design, and cultural expression from Indigenous perspectives, combining traditional crafts, fine art, and creative writing. This differs from a general fine art program by centring Indigenous artists, histories, and ways of making throughout, rather than treating them as one unit. It suits students who want to create and think critically about art and culture while engaging deeply with Indigenous knowledge and contemporary Indigenous artistic practice.You study an arts or media subject like drama, creative writing, fine art, or music while simultaneously completing teacher training. Unlike a regular arts degree followed by separate teacher certification, you earn both your subject degree and your teaching credential in one integrated program. This suits people who know they want to teach their artistic passion and want to combine the two paths from the start.
