Description Honours study is directed at: (i) increasing students\\\' analytical/research skills beyond the level acquired in undergraduate pass level units; (ii) providing a foundation for the conduct of applied research in business law; and (iii) conducting research in the form of a thesis. These skills are developed through the completion of an additional (fourth) year of study.The Business Law Honours Program consists of two components: the course work component and the writing of a thesis. The course work component is conducted in the form of a reading seminar series covering common key issues in commercial, corporations and taxation law, supported by an intensive training program in legal research and important skills in managing a large research project. The course work component will provide a good foundation for students to undertake independent research on their thesis.
