BADIG3001 Future shaping and media polic
This advanced unit provides an introduction to media policy, its function in the digital era and its capacity to affect the future. The unit examines key issues and debates about media regulation, freedom and control. Topics include media ownership, globalisation, intellectual property, internet regulation, privacy and online safety. Students explore how policy frameworks respond to these issues and their implications for society. The unit examines policies relating to different mediums and platforms, current and emerging challenges, and their significance in relation to the Australian context.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
