Course description
Corporations increasingly require people to have a knowledge of commercial law issues. This program, taught by some of the world's leading academics and commercial practitioners, provides an opportunity for those without a legal qualification to gain a solid background in domestic and international commercial law. An extensive range of subjects in US, European and Asian law prepares graduates for a career in an international business or a legal environment. The course is open to graduates from any non-law discipline.
Course structure
Students complete a minimum of six subjects; with approval of the program coordinator, a minor research paper of 10,000 words (30 credit points) may be substituted for two subjects. Students can select subjects from those offered in the Master of Laws in Global Business Law and (with approval) from the Public Interest Law program.
