There are a lot of avenues that you can go down with a business degree. For me, I really enjoyed the human resource side and the marketing side, which is why I came to UTAS to study the Bachelor of Business. And then I could major in both marketing and human resource management.

An understanding of media and communication opens doors to a wide range of exciting careers.

    Our island campus of Tasmania is the start of your journey. The Media School is uniquely co-located with leading media organisations in Hobart.
