legal constraints and requirements.

100%). Should the student not progress with Law after the completion of Year 1, the
outstanding core unit, BFA141 Commercial Transactions, must be completed. This can be
taken in Year 2. Students progressing with Law will be exempt from taking BFA141 as the
Law units LAW200 Contract and LAW201 Torts will be its substitute.
Combined degrees with Arts, Information Systems and
Science, Engineering and Technology
Four-year combined degree programs are available based on the Bachelor of Commerce
and the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Computing/Bachelor of Information
Systems/Bachelor of Aquaculture/Bachelor of Science.
Honours degree

(incorporating Business Management, Human Resource Management, International
Business and Marketing) requires one year of full-time study in addition to the
requirements for the BCom pass degree. Students with a major in Information Systems in
the BCom degree may complete an honours degree program in the BIS honours program.
