Business Law (BCom)

Course Code: B1003

The Business Law major provides an attractive complement to majors in accounting, finance, management and a range of specialist business studies. The major also supplements legal studies that are not business oriented and would be of value to students training in other professions contemplating small business operation.  

Whether students are interested in government or private enterprise work, completion of the major will allow for an appreciation of relevant legal principles applicable to many important areas of business.  Increasing regulation of business means professionals need legal knowledge that equips them to make informed business decisions and to recognise the need for further specific legal services. The major aims to include contemporary and relevant business law for this use.
