General

Course code: 0816
Course coordinator: To be advised
This combined course is designed for students seeking either a career in law or in the banking and finance industry. Some students may already be involved in the banking and finance industry and seeking to gain relevant tertiary qualifications on a full-time or part-time basis. In addition to providing a core of law and business foundation subjects the course provides specialist study in key areas.

Course objectives

The objectives for the Bachelor of Business (Banking and Finance)/Bachelor of Laws double degree are to:

• provide a course of direct relevance to careers in the legal profession and in business specifically in the banking and finance industry, which should allow the graduate to make an early contribution;
• provide thorough exposure to a wide range of disciplines to ensure that the graduate achieves a comprehensive legal and business training and develops a broad perspective on business and law and their roles beyond his or her specialised area of interest;
• provide an education that emphasises the changing nature of the theory and practice of business and law, thereby encouraging the student to become an independent learner cognisant of his or her needs for continuing education;
• develop skills in communication and interpersonal behaviour, allowing students to work effectively both in a team and independently;
• develop the capacity to synthesise and apply knowledge from a number of separate disciplines when analysing specific problems;
• establish a suitable basis for postgraduate study.
