Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Communications and Media

At The University of Notre Dame Australia, our Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Communications & Media is an immensely practical degree that delivers job-ready graduates who are fully trained to excel in the workplace. As a student in the School of Law, we encourage you to take advantage of our intimate seminar settings. With small class sizes, this is the perfect environment for you to explore and develop your skills in public speaking, advocacy, negotiation and dispute resolution. Students are also encouraged to learn outside of the classroom, particularly by attending our Eminent Speakers Series. This unique forum connects students and graduates with leading experts in the discussion of contemporary legal and professional matters. In the Communications & Media component of your degree, you will consider the ways in which people find, evaluate, and present information in modern society. In particular, you will be exploring various types of media such as electronic, print and broadcast journalism, web design, screenwriting, film production and digital photography.
