All businesses need to comply with relevant laws and policies, such as when entering contracts, acquiring assets, leasing premises and hiring staff. Experts in business law are therefore vital to organisations to ensure legal compliance and to mitigate legal risk.

 

In this course you’ll gain comprehensive knowledge of the laws that impact businesses and commercial operations. You’ll learn how laws are created, changed and applied to organisations, and how to meet legal requirements and manage legal risk.

 

You’ll acquire skills in a range of legal areas, from contracts, corporate law and torts to employment law and intellectual property. You’ll also explore ethical issues in business, which is an increasingly important area of local and global business operations.

 

During your studies you'll also be able to strengthen your skills through real-world, practical experiences such as internships and international study tours.

 

After graduating, you could pursue a career in corporate advisory, navigate regulatory frameworks within government departments, or consult on international business matters like trade negotiations and cross-border transactions.
