Bachelor of Communication
The QUT Bachelor of Communication enables you to harness the power of media and communication platforms for meaningful global impact across a range of professions and industries. A career in communication changes the world.
Learn how to communicate effectively in a media-saturated landscape. Our core curriculum teaches every student effective techniques for oral, written and mediated communication; cutting-edge methods for analysing media content, industries, audiences and data; and the overall role of media and communication in a democratic society.
More advanced coursework creates opportunities for you to apply what you learn to real-world problems in your study area and participate in authentic industry experiences.
With a double degree, you'll gain an even broader range of skills and knowledge and greater career flexibility. This is a popular option for students seeking careers in support roles in the creative industries, or wanting to work in a creative role in other industries.
After entering the Bachelor of Communication/Bachelor of Laws (Honours), you'll start by studying a range of fundamental skills that blend cutting-edge technologies with proven communication techniques you can take into any industry. Later in your double degree, you'll be able to choose the major that best suits your dream career.
Bachelor of Laws (Honours)
At QUT, we prepare our students for the modern world of law. What makes our law degree unique is our balance between legal principles and practice.
With our practical, hands-on approach to teaching, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the Australian legal system and the core areas of law required for admission to legal practice in Australia.
You’ll gain a strong foundation in key areas of law, including:
- contract law
- legal research
- equity and trusts
- constitutional law
- administrative law
- commercial and personal property law.
In addition to these established areas of law, you’ll have the opportunity to explore emerging areas of legal practice, such as:
- environment, social and governance (ESG) issues
- law, technology and innovation.
You'll also develop a comprehensive knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders perspectives on law and the legal system, preparing you to work in culturally diverse contexts.
Professional recognition
The Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is a Legal Practitioners' Admissions Board (LPAB) approved law degree, meaning you are eligible for admission to the Australian Legal Profession. To become a solicitor, you must also complete LPAB approved Practical Legal Training. We are one of the few Australian Law Schools to offer approved Practical Legal Training through our Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice. To work as a Barrister there are additional training requirements after you are admitted to the legal profession.
