Graduate Diploma in Communications Law (518AB)

The specialisation in communications law provides students with an advanced understanding of the existing and developing laws affecting the media and communication industries and the impact that such laws have on the important role that new and old forms of media play in society. Topics covered include the constraints imposed on the publication of certain categories of information, as well as the increasingly dominant role played by new media platforms. Attuned to the rapid and evolving development of communications technologies, this course provides a valuable insight into this vibrant area of law. Melbourne Law School has a high level of expertise in communications law, as well as a dedicated research centre, the Centre for Media and Communications Law, which provides a useful resource for students.
