Why choose this course?
This degree combines practical skills and contextual understanding of the media and communication industries with the skills to work as a legal practitioner.
Media outlets operate in a regulatory environment in which changes occur rapidly and constantly. In an era where there is increasing public scrutiny of our media, the need for legal practitioners with specific media awareness has never been greater. Studies in media and communication are centred on the distribution of creative content as well as media research and policy. You will understand the practicalities and influence of the media industries and gain highly transferable skills in this growth area.
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.
