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

at University of Technology Sydney

This course aims to develop digital communications practitioners or lawyers who can produce high-quality outcomes in complex collaborative digital environments, especially social media contexts. It examines a communications environment where diverse media converge, and mobile and social platforms are ubiquitous, and success for individuals and organisations depends largely on their capacity to creatively adapt to the challenges of continuous transformation.
 

The course provides full-time study for students wishing to obtain a professional legal qualification that satisfies the academic requirements for admission as a lawyer together with the study of creative writing as a professional practice. Honours relates to the law component only and students must successfully complete both of the research subjects: Research Methodology and Research Thesis. Strong research skills are valued highly in contemporary professional practice.
 

The course develops a broad range of capabilities for professional practice in information and law. It is particularly relevant for imaginative, synthetic and analytical thinking and communication, as well as practical skills in digital communication across diverse technological platforms and environments. Students learn to be technologically literate, culturally sophisticated, innovative and resourceful leaders with legal knowledge and skills for the rapidly evolving digital communications industries.
