Bachelor of Communication / Bachelor of Laws

About

Bond’s fast-track trimester timetable makes it easy to tackle a double degree. In fact, you can complete two degrees here in less time than you could graduate with just one at most other universities.

Our Bachelor of Communication / Bachelor of Laws combination can be completed in just over three years (10 semesters) whereas it can take up to four years to complete a single law degree elsewhere.

The combination of communication and law will help you develop a multi-layered skillset that will make you stand out to employers in almost any industry or work setting.

You will develop written and oral communication skills, a thorough and up-to-the-minute understanding of digital platforms, social media, and mainstream and new media, and an approved law degree for the purpose of admission as a legal practitioner (in conjunction with the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice).

Studying these two in-demand degrees concurrently also represents a significant cost saving compared to studying the two degrees separately.

There are other ways to demonstrate English language proficiency and gain entry into this program, including demonstrating prior study in English, or other qualifications. If your qualification does not meet the English language requirements then you will need to provide an English proficiency test for admission.

Career

Where will your degree take you?

The Bachelor of Laws degree is an approved degree for the purposes of admission to legal practice in Australia, in conjunction with further study (Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice) or a traineeship. As a graduate of the Bachelor of Communications and Bachelor of Laws, you can pursue a career in the legal profession.

Some of our graduates are now working in careers within the legal profession, while others with leading advertising agencies, as award-winning investigative journalists, in public relations consultancies, marketing roles, corporate training, and in other roles that reflect the evolving nature of communication practices. Altogether, the degree offers students a stimulating course of study and excellent career prospects.

Outcomes

A career in law

After being admitted to legal practice, you can work as a solicitor in a law firm, a government organisation, or a community legal centre.

Non-legal role

Graduating with a law degree provides you with an array of legal skills which include critical thinking, analysis, problem solving, conflict resolution and advocacy which can be transferred into any non-legal role. This career pathway doesn’t necessarily require you to be admitted to the legal profession. You can work in non-legal roles in management consulting, politics, journalism, human resources, investment banking and more.
