School of Law - Postgrad
Faculty of Business and Law
Deakin University is a significant centre of teaching and research in commercial law, with a capacity to provide specialist legal education which deals with the reality of legal issues in a corporate and policy framework.
The School's orientation towards commercial law is reflected in our postgraduate program. Our specialist programs in commercial law, with their underlying international dimensions, seek to offer students the skills and knowledge essential to conducting business in the global community.
A defining emphasis and expertise in commercial law
Deakin University is the largest provider of professional and management education in Australia, working in partnership with government, major corporations and professional associations such as Coca Cola-Amatil, Coles Myer, CPA Australia, Ford, General Motors-Holden, IBM and Qantas.
An Integral part of a Faculty of Business and Law, the School of Law reflects this character of business and professional engagement. Commercial law has been the School's principal area of interest and expertise since its inception.
A strategic and influencial area of legal practice
Our postgraduate programs in commercial law are designed to give our graduates access to some of the most prestigious, rapidly changing and challenging areas of business management and legal practice.
Each of the courses in the program aims to extend the influence of legal expertise beyond a narrow, abstracted legal framework. In doing so, we seek to enhance the capacity of our graduates to deal with legal issues through an associated understanding of broader corporate/policy issues.
Commercial lawyers are playing a crucial role in shaping corporations' responses to the opportunities and challenges of the times – in litigation, constructing large commercial transactions, structuring business organisations, and in shaping the regulatory environment.
Commercial law is the area of professional practice in which the stakes are inevitably high and in which the rewards, pace, international opportunities and required level of expertise are all of the highest order.
Our specialist programs in commercial law can give you the skills and the credibility to be part of it all.
