Bachelor of Communication (Digital and Social Media) Bachelor of Laws

About

This course responds to the changing digital communication landscape.

Students gain the professional skills and underpinning legal expertise required for a successful career as a communication professional, or as a lawyer in a communication or related environment. Upon successful completion of the Bachelor of Laws, they meet the academic requirements for admission to practise law in NSW. Course content emphasises creative and strategic communication capabilities, technological literacy, and the capacity to operate across diverse platforms and environments, particularly in social media contexts.

Elective and major choices provide opportunities for diverse and complementary skill sets; students who choose the new Legal Futures and Technology major gain an understanding of the systems, apps and platforms that inform future legal practice.

This course prepares students to become technologically literate, culturally sophisticated, innovative and resourceful. Graduates are ready to take an informed approach to digital community strategy and planning based on a comprehensive understanding of the sector's shifting legal terrain.

Students wishing to study the new major MAJ09443 Legal Futures and Technology need to study 76106 Technology Law, Policy and Ethics (Capstone 1) in the Autumn session of their final year and 76107 Applied Project in Law, Innovation and Technology (Capstone 2) in their final Spring session.
