Whats the best course to do if seeking radio or television broadcasting in Aus? Hopefully requiring sub90 UAI?

Question

I was thinking of doing journalism at UTS or Macquarie but found out that its really tough - the UAI demand - and to find a job afterwards.

Please answer with reference to Uni - would love a TAFE course if possible but with these parents.....yeah, know what I mean? Thanks!

Answer 1

newcastle university has a much lower uai expectancy for a communication degree and im pretty sure its around 75. you would do a bachelor of communications and major in journalism, they have courses such as broadcast journalism and media production- sound/radio so that would be helpful for what you want to do.

as for finding a job afterwards, no matter where your location is it will be difficult if you havent already laid groundwork. its important to build up a journalism portfolio and to gain as much experience as you can while ur doing your degree so you finish with already accumulated practical experience and references.
