Offering full-time study, the programme leads to a professional legal qualification that satisfies the academic requirements for admission as a lawyer, as well as develops expertise in writing and publishing.
The honours component in law comprises two research subjects, enabling you to develop advanced research, critical analysis and communication skills that can be used in further higher degree research such as Master of Laws or PhD.
Upon graduation you can pursue a career as a media or intellectual property lawyer, editor, publisher, writer, or communication specialist.
Students learn a range of storytelling forms, editing and publishing, and build their knowledge of Australian and global publishing contexts. They also study the 'written word' – one of the most important tools of the legal profession – and the combination of law and writing and publishing equips students to become effective advocates who can provide innovative and thoughtful solutions to complex problems.
Students have the opportunity to engage in deeper study of the law by studying 76090 Research Methodology and undertaking 76040 Research Thesis. This course can be a pathway to higher degree research programs.
