There are two core finance courses, in finance and the first principles of financial economics, a core interdisciplinary course on law and the economics of corporate transactions, and two elective courses. Under the current regulations, these can be taken from the list of law courses available to Bachelor of Civil Law students, including a dissertation option, but it is anticipated that it will be possible to substitute two electives taken from the MBA and Master of Financial Economics offered by the Sad Business School for one of the two law electives.
There is also a pre-sessional maths course. The finance course is taught during the first and second terms through classes and seminars and is assessed by a combination of an unseen examination and a group work exercise during the second term. The course in the first principles of financial economics is taught by means of classes during the first term and examined by a timed examination at the end of that term and an assessed essay during the second term.
The course in law and economics of corporate transactions is taught through classes and seminars and assessed in the third term by means of a group work exercise involving the assessment of case studies, including preparation and presentation of proposals and/or negotiation exercises.
Law electives from the BCL are taught by means of seminars and tutorials throughout all three terms and assessed through timed examinations at the end of the third term. Those taking the dissertation option submit a 12,000-word dissertation in the third term.
Electives from the Sad Business School courses will be taught by means of classes during the second and third terms, and assessed by means of timed examinations at the end of the third term.
