Graduate Certificate in Business Law

Our Graduate Certificate in Business Law caters to the needs of busy professionals. The majority of courses are taught intensively over one or two weeks and some include evening and weekend sessions. You will:

• undertake approximately 24 hours of seminar-style classes
• cover the foundations of Australian law through one core course
• pursue three law electives relevant to your business sector or interests
• build legal communication skills
• have the opportunity to study international or comparative law.

This program may meet your needs for professional development by itself, or act as a first step towards the graduate diploma or master. It's offered in intensive mode with intakes in late February and late July.

Entry to postgraduate coursework programs as a minimum requires a Bachelors degree or equivalent qualification from an approved institution as a qualification for entry. Some of the graduate certificates and graduate diplomas that are offered may be accepted as qualifying work for entry to a Masters program, or as professional qualifications in their own right.
