They will also have an understanding of how the industry operates and of the place of radio in the Australian and global media landscape.

Employment Prospects:	Graduates in radio have progressed to successful careers in all aspects of media work both in Australia and abroad. The broad-ranging skills acquired during the course of your degree prepare you equally well for media production as for media-based roles in government, business and education.
