Curtin University
About
This major/stream is part of a larger course. Information is specific to the major/stream, please refer to the course for more information.
This double degree major is intended to be compatible with the LLB/BA double degree, and to fit into that structure as an appropriate major. The Law / Journalism combination will allow students to combine a professional qualification which prepares them for legal practice with an Arts degree majoring in journalism and providing a strong theoretical and practical training in that field. The Bachelor of Laws degree is the required qualification for all who wish to enter into legal practice. This course offers a rich and professionally relevant coverage of foundational areas of legal knowledge as well as developing the core skills essential to effective legal practice. Curtin LLB graduates are well qualified to practice in any legal field. The Journalism major combines professional outcomes, scholarly creativity, technological skills and intellectually demanding academic study with an emphasis on deeper understandings, as well as the chance for innovative, cutting-edge project work.
