Commerce (Business Law), Bachelor

The Bachelor of Commerce develops students' analytical, communication and problem-solving skills, providing students with a global perspective on business and preparation to pursue a career within the business, government or not-for-profit sectors.

As the accountability and personal liability of professionals, business managers and public servants continues to grow, a strong grounding in business law is becoming an increasingly attractive attribute for potential employers both nationally and internationally. The Business Law major focuses on the fundamental relationship between law and business and is ideal for those planning careers in a wide range of business areas including professional accounting, business management, international trade and industrial relations. It equips you with high-level analytical, problem-solving, research and communication skills that will enable you to recognise, analyse and, where possible, avoid the legal problems that arise in the course of many common business transactions. In cases where such avoidance is not possible, Business Law students have the knowledge to intelligently request and act on legal services and advice.
