Program Description
This program combines the professional Bachelor of Laws with the Bachelor of Media (Communication and Journalism).
The Bachelor of Media (Communication and Journalism) is designed to provide students with foundational and applied skills, knowledge and capabilities in professional communication and journalism. It equips students to be effective producers and analysts of a wide range of communication practices, informed by a solid understanding of media theory. Relevant career pathways include journalism, corporate and organizational communication, public sector communication and public relations. While specialising in Communication and Journalism, students will also be immersed in the culture and philosophy of media studies through their courses in the media core.
This degree combination is relevant to students interested in becoming media lawyers, or in journalism, corporate and organisational communication
Level I and II courses cover contextual knowledge of communication and journalism, and practical and theoretical skills in text production and analysis. As students proceed into Level III, the program expands and deepens knowledge and understanding of these skills through application to contemporary communication contexts, requiring demonstration of the ability to situate, produce and evaluate effective communication texts.
