Course Overview

About This Course

Bond's fast-track trimester timetable makes it easy to tackle a double degree. In fact, you can complete two degrees here in less time than you could graduate with just one at most other universities. The Bachelor of Communication (Business) / Bachelor of Laws combination, for instance, can be completed in just over three and a half years (11 semesters), whereas it can take up to four years to complete a single law degree elsewhere. The combination of communication, business and law will help you develop a multi-layered skillset that will make you stand out to employers in almost any industry or work setting. You will develop written and oral communication skills, a thorough and up-to-the-minute understanding of digital platforms, social media, and mainstream and new media, and an approved law degree for the purpose of admission as a legal practitioner. Studying these two in-demand degrees concurrently also represents a significant cost saving compared to studying the two degrees separately.
