Business Law at UWA

The Business Law Programme

The Law School has a Business Law programme (law for non-lawyers) available to students who want a knowledge of the legal system and the way it affects business. Students in the UWA Business School may qualify for a Business Law minor as part of their degree programme while students in other faculties may be permitted to study individual business law units. For details, refer to the UWA Handbook.

The Business Law programme has been designed for students who are planning a career in accountancy, business management, marketing, international trade, banking and finance, public service, industrial relations, and related professions and business endeavours.  The skills to be acquired from these units are relevant for both the Australian legal system and the legal environment in other "common law" countries.

There has been a clear and consistent trend escalating the accountability and the potential personal liability of professionals, business managers and public servants.  There has also been increasing statutory intervention into the everyday running of business enterprises.  Managers and professionals constantly find themselves confronted by the need to make decisions with significant, and often frightening, legal ramifications.  The line between "business" decisions and "legal" issues has become blurred.  A university graduate planning to enter into the business world must have a grounding in basic legal concepts and some familiarity with certain areas of the law.

A Business Law minor should prove an attractive accreditation for prospective employers.
