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)

Our Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is a higher-level qualification than a bachelor degree, as it has honours-level content integrated throughout the course. The advanced knowledge and skills in this course will benefit your professional career, or future research and study.

Through your study you will develop necessary legal skills such as legal research, problem solving, critical analysis, dispute resolution, and oral and written communication.

Apply legal expertise to jobs in the communication industries or use your digital and social media skills in specialist legal practices such as privacy, freedom of speech, litigation or criminal law.

Our course will also help you understand and promote the ethical standards of the legal profession and to appreciate international and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives.

Professional recognition

The law degree is approved by the Queensland Legal Practitioners Admissions Board. If you want to become a lawyer at the end of your degree, you will need to complete further practical legal training (PLT) before you can apply for admission to practice. Successful completion of PLT allows you to apply for admission as solicitor, but if you want to be a barrister you will need to also pass the Bar Exams. We offer PLT in the form of the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice.
