As this program covers all areas of creative communication, students will come to understand how their field of study is connected to other disciplines, enabling them to apply critical, reflective and creative skills to make informed decisions in a professional context. Through self-directed, team and problem-based learning strategies that require active participation in the community, students will learn to value ethical conduct, intellectual integrity, diversity and social justice principles.

Further information

The exceptional merit pathway(EMP) will offer those students who demonstrate an aptitude and ability in the area of Communications to receive a direct offer. Students will be required to present a portfolio, and take part in one or more workshops and/or submit a written assessment, in addition to participating in an interview, during one of a series of on-campus Young Creatives events. Successful completion of the EMP requirements will result in a direct entry offer for the following year. Though a non-ATAR pathway, eligibility to accept the direct offer will be contingent on the successful completion of the HSC. Students who participate in this program but do not qualify for a direct offer would be eligible for a conditional offer, with the additional requirement of an ATAR of 55+.
