Bachelor of Communication and Media - Bachelor of Laws

You can specialise in one of the following majors, all available on campus at Wollongong: Digital and Social Media, Journalism, Marketing Communication and Advertising, Screen Media Production, and Visual Communication Design.

Yes. The Bachelor of Laws is accredited by the Legal Profession Admission Board. By completing your law degree at UOW, you are completing an academic qualification that is recognised for admission as a lawyer in Australia, subject to completing state-approved Practical Legal Training (PLT). Further details for NSW admissions can be found at the Legal Profession Admission Board website.

Law students are required to complete a Legal Internship subject (LLB3397), which involves a practical placement completed over 4 weeks, totalling 140 hours at 35 hours per week. It is designed to expose students to the application of the law in practice and to develop skills in legal research, communication, drafting, practice management, and problem solving.

A double degree at UOW provides a world-class qualification in less time and at less cost than studying the two degrees separately, and having a double degree will give you a competitive advantage in a crowded job market. This combined degree takes 5 years full-time, or part-time equivalent.

All UOW courses are taught in English and require varying levels of proficiency. If English is not your first language, you must meet the University's English Language Requirements, which differ by course. Accepted international test results include IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Cambridge, and OET for specific health-related courses. Alternatively, you can fulfil the requirement by completing an English course at UOW College.
