Overview

Head of School: Professor Andrew Terry
Administrative Assistant: Bibi Moore

Law and commerce are inextricably intertwined. The whole fabric of commerce is woven from a complex legal regime, judicial and statutory, which regulates all commercial activity. The study of commerce has always included an examination of the laws which govern its operation and it is the role of the School of Business Law and Taxation to provide a range of courses addressing areas of law relevant to students in the Faculty of Business.

The courses offered by the School fall into three broad categories: 'foundation' courses which expose students from all disciplines in the faculty to a broad general education in the legal environment and regulation of commerce; 'professional' courses which are recognised by the CPA Australia and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia for admission to those bodies; and 'specialist' business law and taxation courses relevant to disciplinary streams within the Faculty.

The School's mission is different to that of a law school - it is driven by an audience which is trained for commercial rather than legal practice. The School's focus is on teaching and research which is contemporary, relevant and innovative, and which adds value to the disparate disciplines which comprise 'commerce'.

At the undergraduate level, the School offers co-majors in Business Law and in Taxation.

At the postgraduate level the School offers a MCom specialisation in Business Law.
