I really enjoyed the practicality of the course, particularly data journalism and how that can be integrated into discovering interesting stories for investigation…also when I went to Jordan as part of the Foreign Correspondents Study Tour, I learnt a whole range of skills from the others there – filming on multiple pieces of equipment, producing talent and landing on your feet when things don’t go to plan.
Kate Bettes Content Producer at News Corp Graduate, Master of Advanced Journalism
All my tutors have been excellent and they've been incredibly generous in sharing their industry experience. Perhaps the subject that most surprised me was Professional Editing – I hadn't planned on choosing it as an elective, but after hearing feedback about the tutor (Bernadette Foley) and the learning outcomes, I did it and can highly recommend it, whether you're interested in a career in editing or not.

It's important communicators understand the future challenges in the workplace so they can help their organisations and leaders navigate them. I believe having a postgraduate degree gives communication professionals the edge in the industry. Having both the technical ability which you learn while working, combined with theory which you learn in a postgraduate degree, gives you a much broader perspective on best practice. It also provides you with the tools you need to build brands and engage employees.
Andrew Cooper Head of Communication at KBR Australia & IABC NSW President Graduate, Strategic Communication (previously Communication Management)
I studied Media Arts and Production at UTS and learned the foundations of my practice. I am relieved to see a revived focus on ethical and sustainable media practices, and believe that our screen industry will be in reliable hands if the new generation of storytellers are educated with this integrity as core to their study. Activism and entrepreneurship are often denied space in academia, and I am excited that this new masters will encourage graduates to contribute back to society in a meaningful way, to make the world better than how we inherited it.”
