This degree prepares you to engage with a global media culture within a legal context. It has an international focus and places strong emphasis on research skills. It introduces students to ways in which new media practices shape our everyday lives and ethical and legal considerations both in the workplace, and our local, national and international communities. The practical skills you will learn in Law include hands-on skills like critical analysis, written and oral communication, legal inquiry, negotiation and advocacy, all of which are necessary for you to excel in the legal profession. This interesting and flexible double degree combination provides students with a deep understanding of the changing media landscape and how communication practices and technologies permeate our professional, social and political lives with global, economic and political impacts. Learn how producers and consumers interact in a media saturated world and the legalities of working in a fast paced industry. This degree: In the first year of your Law double degree, your Bachelor of Laws subjects must be completed full-time, except where Faculty approval is given on equity grounds. In the following four years of the degree, students enrol in Law subjects and Arts subjects. Refer to the Bachelor of Laws and the Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies for more information about majors and electives available. We believe that practical experience is a vital part of your legal training. We are the only law school in Australia that requires you to complete a legal internship. This means you get to apply your legal knowledge to real life situations as part of your degree.
