Business Law

What you’ll study

Graduate Diploma in Business Law candidates complete 24 credit points, which is equivalent to 4 units of study. Students are able to choose units of study from a wide range of relevant electives on offer. 

Students without a law degree must also complete the unit of study, Legal Reasoning & the Common Law System.

You can select from over 70 units of study, one of the largest collections for a single degree within the University of Sydney Law School's postgraduate program.

You can start off with a number of fundamental or introductory units of study, suitable if you have no prior legal knowledge, providing you with an effective springboard to more complex units. You can also tailor the sequencing of these units to your particular needs, as well to your preferred knowledge and experience.

In terms of content, you have the opportunity to undertake rigorous and challenging specialist units relevant to:

• domestic and international tax
• commercial contracts
• banking and finance
• insolvency
• trusts
• secured transactions
• investment
• arbitration
• competition law
• international transactions

You can experience delivery of these units in weekly evening classes during semester and, throughout the year, on an intensive basis over four or five days.

Intensive units are especially popular and provide an excellent opportunity to experience teaching by international visitors and give you the chance to benefit from a scholastic atmosphere away from the demands of your day to day professional life.
