The double-degree Bachelor of Business Systems/Bachelor of Laws is a five-year,
full-time course conducted over 10 semesters. This course is designed to
provide an understanding of computer applications to business in the context of
a general grounding in management education combined with a thorough
understanding of legal principles and practice. The primary objective is to
prepare graduates who have been trained in the use of computers, information
systems and the law, for eventual roles in management and/or professional legal
practice. Students emerge with a capacity to relate their university studies to
the world of business and law.
Computing has become pervasive. Computers are found in virtually all businesses
and many homes. Computers affect us at work, in our personal business and also
in our recreation. As computing has become more common the legal challenges
arising from use of the technology have become greater. The computing industry
has need for specialists trained in law, and the legal profession has need for
skills in computing.
The law and computers are coming into contact. Issues such as privacy,
intellectual property, copyright, security, fraud, expert systems, censorship,
licensing, contracts, computer crime all present with different problems when
computers are involved. Computing and the law also interact in the practice of
management and justice administration.
The double degree will provide professionals trained in both the technical and
legal aspects of these issues.
Units 1 and 2-- one of General Mathematics or Mathematical Methods; units 3 and 4 -- a study score of at least 30 in English and a study score of at least 20 in any other three VCE studies.
