Degree Overview

Our Bachelor of Marketing & Public Relations degree studied in conjunction with the Bachelor of Laws degree is your pathway into several rewarding careers such as working as a legal practitioner, marketing, or public relations. These days marketing and public relations are heavily regulated industries.

Understanding the law helps those working in these areas comply with the law and enable lawyers to provide those working in marketing and public relations with sound legal advice. Law firms are also effective marketing service users, so this combination is very versatile for your future.

The Bachelor of Laws degree is accredited for admission to legal practice. It combines excellent coverage of underlying legal and ethical principles with an explanation of how they are applied in legal practice. Meanwhile, the Marketing & Public Relations degree is designed for people who wish to gain extensive knowledge of marketing and promotional strategies while underpinning their studies with a rigorous understanding of media and public relations practice.

You will cover areas such as accounting and information technology for business, consumer behaviour, market research, events management, and media planning.
