About the course

The Graduate Diploma in Business Law provides specialist knowledge in commercial, corporate and taxation law for both lawyers and non-lawyers working in business, finance and corporate settings. Students complete 24 credit points (typically four units) chosen from a wide range of electives, with an added legal reasoning unit for those without a law degree. The course is delivered face-to-face and can be studied part-time as a graduate diploma in law. The programme builds executive-level capability in strategy, finance, operations, and organisational leadership for global business environments.

Career outcome

This qualification strengthens legal capability for professionals working where business and law intersect. Graduates may apply their knowledge in corporate and commercial environments, including compliance and risk, contracts and transactions, taxation-related work, insolvency and restructuring contexts, and roles supporting banking and finance activities. It can also benefit lawyers seeking deeper commercial specialisation and non-lawyers who work closely with legal issues. Outcomes align with graduate diploma-level skills in business law.
