Legal Studies

The study of this discipline provides a valuable contribution to the education of students by encouraging them to research legal issues and develop an understanding of legal concepts in order to give them a basic understanding of the law and its function within our society.  Legal Studies is about the way the law relates to and serves both individuals and the community.  It focuses on developing an understanding of the way in which law is generated, structured and operated within Australian and international contexts.  It develops a wide range of understandings and skills for independent inquiry, critical thinking and informed decision-making.

Business Management

Business Management is the study of a variety of disciplines that are relevant to the business environment for employees, employers, consumers and those dealing with business. Business Management is distinctive in that it encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of business and management in context, which students will encounter in life. Conceptually, it offers focus areas and perspectives ranging from the planning of a small business to the broader roles of management, finance, employment relations, marketing and the impact of the global business environment. Contemporary business theories, practices and issues are incorporated in the course providing academic rigour and depth which provide an excellent foundation for students engaging in further tertiary study or employment. The course challenges students to consider the broad ethical and social consequences of business decisions, and provides an opportunity to develop an awareness of the conflict of interest that may occur between the goals of business and the concern for the global ecosystem.
