Double Major Options For Graphic Design Students at Murdoch University

At the School of Media and Communication, Murdoch University, we believe in creating opportunities for our students by allowing students to study double majors. With a Murdoch degree in Communication or Creative Media, you can choose to major in two separate subject areas rather than just one, all in the same three-year degree. By simply utilising your electives to build an entire second major, you have the opportunity to graduate with a Bachelor of Communication or Creative Media with two distinct specialisations.

Simply put, double majors mean you get two major skill sets for the price of one, for no extra money, with no extra time, and you double your chance of getting a job when you graduate.
