Radio course to shut down

The Swinburne University of Technology are discontinuing their Graduate Diploma of Arts (Commercial Radio) course that has been going since 1989.

In those 23 years many students have secured positions in varying area's of commercial radio.

A spokesperson from Swinburne said….

"Over a sustained period of time the enrolment numbers have been quite low and that's made the course basically non-viable"

For all current students, they are still able to complete their course but no further intake will occur.

Swinburne has been a significant industry training provider for many years, so hopefully they will be able to continue to do so in another form in the future.
