Candice Dixon

BComm

Bond’s three semesters per year meant that I could complete a Bachelor of Communication in just two years and launch my career at a very young age.

On a television program like Saturday Disney, communication, journalism and general media skills are all very important. Bond’s communication program was the perfect foundation for me to kick-start my career. I majored in journalism which gave me a really good understanding of writing, researching and camera operations. My lecturers helped me line up internships with Channel 9 Gold Coast News and 102.9 Hot Tomato. I also worked on various television and movie sets as an extra while I was studying.

I finished my degree with invaluable knowledge from lecturers and fellow students. I now look to my lecturers as mentors and feel as though I could still contact them for support.
