Bachelor of Communication (Business)/Bachelor of Laws

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.

Communication skills are in high demand in all fields and most professional roles including management and specific fields such as marketing, advertising, public relations, journalism, social media, film and television, computer animation, user-interface design, human resources, corporate training, and professional writing. The Bachelor of Communication (Business) offers you foundational studies in Communication and Media with a specialist major in Marketing. As part of your studies, you may produce marketing strategies and advertising and public relations campaigns for real clients as well as blogs, podcasts, published media stories, and websites. You will also gain sound insight into human society in various contexts including gender, interpersonal, and intercultural communication.

The Bachelor of Laws prepares you for a career as a legal professional, both within Australia and overseas. It provides you with a thorough grounding in essential areas of substantive law and access to a wide choice of law elective subjects, including the option of completing a specialisation. An integrated skills and professionalism program is embedded in the program and focuses on core legal skills essential to the practice of law. The Bachelor of Laws provides an engaging learning experience that challenges you academically and prepares you practically for a legal career.
