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.
The Bachelor of Business (Law) does not provide the basis for admission to
practice as a barrister or solicitor.
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.
