Coursework Degrees
Master of Commercial Law
(For lawyers and non-lawyers)
The program has been developed to meet the demand from a wide variety of graduates in areas as diverse as accounting, engineering, computer science and marketing, for specialised training in areas of law relevant to persons in management positions (including self owned businesses), and in other relevant areas. It may also be attractive to overseas law graduates or local law graduates who do not have a commercial law concentration in their primary degree. As such, the program will focus on relevant areas of business law. The degree may also be of interest to local graduates wanting to work in a research area of their choice.
