Develop creative digital solutions for problems that arise with the advent of new technologies

In the recent 2019 QS World University Rankings, QUT’s communication and media courses have placed first in Australia and 16th worldwide. This reflects QUT’s real-world technology focus and is the culmination of the university’s commitment to preparing graduates for the changing realities of tomorrow’s digital workplaces.

There is a growing need for competent digital communication professionals who can engage with digital technologies in dynamic ways. This is in large part due to many industries becoming increasingly reliant on digital communication technologies. Graduates will attain the pragmatic skills and technical agility necessary to continually adapt their practice for the changing realities of digital innovation.

You will develop new skills in social media, data analytics, artificial intelligence and visualisation, all the while investigating how constantly-evolving technologies disrupt various industries. You will learn about what can be done to minimise this disruption and how best to harness the potential of emerging communication technologies.

Upon completion of the Graduate Certificate in Digital Communication you will take into your next professional role a sophisticated understanding of modern digital communication technologies. This understanding, combined with the adaptable skill set you gain, will help you find creative solutions for problems that arise with the advent of new technologies.

You have the option of furthering your study with a Graduate Diploma in Digital Communication or a Master of Digital Communication.
