The Web Media stream is for students keen to pursue careers in the expanding field of web-based media and communications.
MIRI: Curtin University Malaysia has introduced a Web Media stream to further strengthen its Bachelor of Communications, which already has the Corporate Screen Production, Journalism, Marketing, and Public Relations streams.
A press release said the additional stream is ideal for students keen to pursue careers in the expanding field of web-based media and communications, from website creation to online community management.
This includes careers as social media advisors, web designers, developers, writers or editors, and copywriters.
“It will make graduates industry ready by helping them develop skills and knowledge in traditional and emerging media and communication roles, as well as industry-ready skills such as using commercial level equipment to produce work for print, radio, television, and online media. They will also build portfolios of work and have opportunities to meet industry professionals,” said Curtin Malaysia media and communication coordinator Murali Krishnan.
He added the stream emphasises social media and networking, and units combine practical components with core concepts to give students the necessary understanding and skills they need in the online environment.
Murali said with the introduction of the Web Media stream, the Bachelor of Communications (formerly Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication) is expected to gain even greater popularity as it has become increasingly popular at Curtin Malaysia over the last two years with the inclusion of a Journalism stream.
Additionally, he said the Department of Media and Communication is equipped with modern facilities to support learning, including industry-standard video and digital recording, editing and production suites, and a radio studio providing an authentic radio newsroom environment.
