Welcome to the Faculty of Law and Business.
Launched on January 1, 2014, this newly created Faculty is a merger between the former Faculty of Business and the Faculty of Law.
The Faculty of Business was launched in 2010, having grown out of the former national School of Business, which had developed and grown over 20 years. The launch of the Faculty of Law followed in 2012, initially in Melbourne and expanding into Sydney in 2014. The new Faculty of Law and Business thus culminates 20 years of growth and development for ACU in this pivotal area of study.
The merger will create exciting new opportunities for collaboration in teaching and research, and allow all of our students to gain the benefit of our expertise in these two interrelated areas so critical to Australian society.
The new Faculty delivers a suite of bachelor degrees including Law, Commerce, Marketing, HRM and IT. A comprehensive range of postgraduate business programs is also offered from the MBA (Executive) to Supply Chain Management. A great entry into postgraduate study is a Graduate Certificate then Graduate Diploma in any of our masters programs.

Our aims

We emphasise the ethical, social and environmental duties of the modern business leader and lawyer, and all our courses have a strong practical component through community engagement, pro bono work and internships.
