The double degree Bachelor of Business Systems/Bachelor of Laws is a five-year full-time course conducted over ten 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.
Entry to this combination is based on the entry requirements for the Bachelor of Laws.
