Course Overview

About This Course

In the Bachelor of Communication, through classwork, independent study and engagement with the multicultural nature of our communities, students develop an understanding of the local and international relevance of their chosen studies, with opportunities to develop and produce a range of media outcomes as applied research and professional projects throughout their studies. Through self-directed, team-based and problem-based learning strategies requiring active participation in the community and professional contexts, graduates learn to reflect and value ethical and intellectual conduct as well as respect for diversity and social justice principles. The Bachelor of Laws provides students with a broad progressive legal education with a strong practical orientation to the law. Students develop skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, research, communication, collaboration, self-management, and ethical and professional awareness and judgement. Students will also develop skills in legal advocacy, negotiation, and legal technology and extend their professional and learning experiences through work integrated learning, clinical placement and international exchange engagements. This double degree permits you to study two complementary career paths providing you with a competitive edge and enhanced marketability in multiple areas of expertise. The Bachelor of Laws degree will provide you with professional legal skills including the ability to analyse legal material and understand fundamental legal principles, an understanding of the relationship between law and society, the skills to analyse and solve non-legal problems, and specialised study into the Australian legal system. The Bachelor of Communication degree is designed to develop critical thinking and communication skills encompassing a wide range of subjects with a core program of Media Studies practice and theory, and specialised major sequences in Advertising, Journalism and Public Relations.
