Master of Business Law - double degrees

The MBL is especially well-suited to being your second Masters degree.

• The MBL provides an excellent grounding in advanced, applied Business Law, which will leverage your other academic qualifications and work experience significantly.

  Most employers are all too aware of how legal regulation increasingly affects day to day decision making in the workplace. This is so whether you are working as a professional manager, as an accountant or in some other professional capacity.

• The MBL comprises 8 units, which is the standard template for a postgraduate Masters degree in law. This means the MBL can be completed in one year of full-time study or two years of part-time study (where no exemptions apply).

• The MBL operates under the standard credit/exemption policy which applies within the Faculty of Business and Economics.

  This policy allows for credits/exemption of up to 50% of MBL units where a student has successfully completed equivalent level, relevant postgraduate studies within the five years prior to enrolling in the MBL. This includes CPA and CSA professional qualification units.

• The MBL also allows for 2 non-law units - thus exemptions may also be sought for prior, qualifying non-law studies.
