This double degree provides the knowledge and skills required in the management of public and private enterprises, together with a law degree.
Students can undertake specialist commercial law units such as corporations law, international law and business transactions, taxation law and industrial bargaining and arbitration, which will complement a solid grounding provided in both domestic and international law. The commerce degree also offers a wide range of units in accounting, business statistics, economics, finance, management, marketing and taxation.
In addition to preparing graduates for traditional legal practice, the combined degree program opens up many career opportunities in business, finance and commerce. Graduates find work in legal practice, government, politics, the media, parliament or legislature, merchant banking, international business, and money markets.
