Welcome from the Head of School of Communication

The School of Communication at UTS is a place of new ideas and deep traditions. We are creative, practical, thoughtful, and exacting. Our graduates are inventive, skilled, thoughtful, ambitious, and ready to make change in a challenging world. As Head of School I am privileged to witness the expertise and absolute dedication of our professors and lecturers, and to enjoy the wonderful and often brilliant work that students produce as they progress through their degrees.

As a UTS Communication student you will be growing through your studies to become one of the world’s global communicators, in whatever industry, service, or enterprise you choose to deploy your expertise. There is so much to achieve, and so much fun to be enjoyed along the way. You can also learn from each other, both in that special lace called real shared co-presence on campus, and in online spaces. Never forget that the people in your core classes and elective subjects may be the same people who will become your supportive friends, and downtrack your audiences, readers, co-workers, and collaborators.

We are especially fortunate in our alumni at UTS Communication. Many have gone on to lead in their fields, and they constantly bring that real world business experience, creative achievement, and social impact back to us and the current generation of students. You inherit their legacy.

So, welcome to a great School and thank you for joining us. We will do our very best to make your time here valuable and exciting, and we look forward to your company.
