This course is designed to provide a degree structure with a
major sequence of units in the area of business law and taxation. The course
recognises the fundamental importance of business law and taxation in a rapidly
changing commercial world, and seeks to provide graduates with extended skills
in these areas. Graduates will gain skills in handling the wide range of
complex legal and taxation issues that are commonly faced in many areas of
business management and government agencies.
The course provides a strong grounding in core business areas such as
accounting, economics, , management, business statistics and marketing. It also
provides compulsory studies in commercial law, corporations law and taxation
law plus a very wide range of more specific business law and taxation electives
which students can use to extend their knowledge in particular areas of
interest.
Note that the Bachelor of Business (Law) does not provide the basis for
admission to practice as a barrister or solicitor.
In addition to the policy stated in the Outline of undergraduate studies section of this publication, some advanced standing will normally be given to students who have passed units in the degree of the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) at an approved university.
Students must complete a major specialisation in business law.
Other studies may be drawn from any of the disciplines taught on the Caulfield
campus by the Faculty of Business and Economics. These other studies can in
some cases form a second major in a business discipline.
Up to six open electives may also be taken from other campuses or other Monash
faculties.
The degree requirements are:
(a) Inner core - completion of six compulsory units (36 credit points):
(b) Outer core - completion of six outer-core units (36 credit points), including the two compulsory units (12 credit points) listed below and a further four units (24 credit points) from the remaining units listed below:

disciplines taught by other Monash faculties or from units offered on campuses
