Peter always knew he wanted to work in the media industry, so studying a Bachelor of Communication was an easy decision to make. Heading into his second year of study, he’s excited to explore all there is to learn about the field and pursue the career he’s always wanted.

I’ve had an amazing time studying at the University of Newcastle so far. At NUspace in the city, I can go to classes with tutors who are currently working in the industry, collaborate with peers who share a passion for news media and creative arts, and hang out afterwards at the scenic parks and beaches nearby.

Throughout my courses, I’ve learned how to work with clients making commercials, how to write like a feature journalist and had engaging discussions about what’s shaping our contemporary media landscape.”

"I’ve loved my experience so far. From initially studying journalism, I’ve developed an interest in the creative industries, even producing an awardwinning short film."
