Why study Commercial Law?
Commercial Law means the laws that govern business activities. All businesses use commercial law to create wealth, and to identify and mitigate risks. Commercial Law makes everyday business activities possible.
Complementary majors
A double major combines two specialist fields of study. Commercial Law is a popular second major and complements most other business majors including:
Conjoint degree
Commercial Law can also work well in a conjoint degree combination or an elective with a Science or Engineering degree.
Studying commercial law will give you an array of skills that are valued highly in business. It will develop your analytical and critical thinking skills, improve your written communication skills, and help you to think strategically about business opportunities and business risks.
What are the career paths?
Depending on the other major, you could become a financial accountant, financial adviser, investment consultant, receiver, regulator or business policy adviser.

You can study Commercial Law at the Business School in the following programmes:
Bachelor of Commerce
