Business law and taxation specialisation


Subjects taught by the department

Second-year subjects

BTC2110 (Business law) is a foundation subject emphasising the legal framework of business. It is a prerequisite for some but not all of the Clayton business law subjects.

Third-year subjects

There is no prerequisite for BTC3150 or BTC3153 (Income tax law). It is highly recommended that students majoring in marketing take BTC3300 (Marketing law) to develop familiarity with the Trade Practices Act, and that students majoring in management take BTC3730 (Industrial arbitration) to understand the legal framework of the workplace.
Business law and taxation subjects from other campuses may be available if they do not overlap with an existing Clayton subject, eg BTG2223 (Business regulation and corporate crime), BTG3240 (Administrative law) or BTG3641 (Information law). These subjects are available by distance education.
