Selected major: Media Industries

Develop the knowledge and skills needed to understand and prepare for roles in the media environment. Gain experience in making connections with industry.

The Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Media and Communication combines studies in commercial law, emphasising intellectual property law, with the knowledge to specialise in the media, communications and multimedia industries.

You'll learn about trademarks, patents and designs, copyright, the prohibition of misleading or deceptive conduct and competition law, and gain the skills to protect the rights of those who innovate or create.

You'll also develop professional communication skills and learn how the media is evolving through an examination of issues such as ownership, control of the media and the impact of new media technologies on society.

Work Integrated Learning is a guaranteed part of all our bachelor degrees. In this double degree, you'll complete law-related professional experience placements at organisations in Australia or overseas. You'll also be introduced to the practical aspects of legal practice through moot court scenarios and advocacy exercises. And in a Media and Communications Project relevant to your major study area, you'll have the opportunity to apply your learning in a professionally focused, industry-linked project.
