Why choose this course?
The course combines the practical skills and an understanding of the journalism industry with the knowledge and skills to work in legal practice. In the journalism component, students learn broad journalism skills including news writing, feature writing, journalism ethics and issues, sub-editing and layout, radio and television journalism, and online journalism.
QUT’s Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is a higher-level qualification than a bachelor degree, as it has honours-level content integrated throughout the course. The advanced knowledge and skills in this course will benefit your professional career, or future research and study.

As a QUT law student, you will benefit immediately and into the future from:

a course that has been designed in consultation with industry to have a strong foundation in contemporary law knowledge, understanding and experience
meaningful connections with high profile industry employers
practical and effective hands-on learning experiences during your studies
