Commercial Law is a mandatory course for International Business Management, Accounting and advisable to take for other programmes as it will provide you with an exemption from required courses for several professional accreditation bodies. Many of you may ask why a law course is mandatory on your degree programs. If you are studying in Dubai or Malaysia, you may ask why Scots law will be relevant to you. It might also seem that law is the purview of a specialised few (solicitors and advocates), and not really a matter for people who are not in the legal profession. However, as a customer, employee or owner of a business the law has a profound effect of your lives. You will enter in an astonishing number of contracts in your lives (in fact you probably already have), including employment contracts. If you participate in any business, you will likely act as an agent without even realising it. If you start your own business understanding contract law, agency and delict could be the difference between a successful venture and abject failure. While this course teaches Scots law, these legal principles are common to many countries, and are found across the globe even in different legal systems. Whether in Scotland, Dubai, Malaysia or Papua New Guinea the principles that you will learn in this course will give you a critical understanding of the underlying legal rules of business.
