About the course
This double degree combines contemporary communication practice with an LPAB-approved law qualification. You’ll build strong oral, written and digital communication skills and learn to analyse media, audiences and data, while developing a practical grounding in the Australian legal system and core areas required for admission to legal practice. You can tailor the communication component by selecting a major aligned to your career interests in media or related industries. The programme builds legal reasoning, case analysis, and professional ethics for legal practice and public service pathways.
Career outcome
Graduates can pursue legal careers or roles that sit at the intersection of law and communication. Opportunities include legal practice (after meeting professional admission requirements), legal and regulatory roles in organisations, policy and governance support, and communication-focused positions in law firms, government and media-related industries. The combination suits work involving privacy, freedom of speech, technology and innovation, litigation support, and strategic communication in legally complex environments.
