Following a program review, structural changes have been made to the Bachelor of Business Management/Bachelor of Laws (Honours) (BBusMan/LLB(Hons)) from 2021.
What does this mean for you?
As a current student, you have the option to continue to follow the current (pre-2021) BBusMan/LLB(Hons) program requirements, OR transfer to the 2021 program and requirements to complete your study.
Please be aware that if you are a Commonwealth Supported student changing program, Federal Government legislative changes may impact your fees. Refer to my.UQ for information.
Please read the information below carefully and consider the option that is best for you. If you decide you would like to change to the 2021 requirements, you will need to submit a program change request on mySI-net by 12 February 2021 (program change requests will open 4 December 2020).
The table below provides a basic summary of the changes. For a comprehensive comparison you need to compare the requirements and course lists on Programs and Courses – see further information below under ‘What you need to do’.

In making a decision about which requirements to follow, you need to consider the courses you have already completed, the major you wish to complete for Business Management, as well as the courses you will be required to complete. If you change to the 2021 requirements, course credit will only be given where it fits within the new requirements.
Please note:
You cannot follow different requirements for each component. For example, you cannot follow the 2021 requirements for the LLB(Hons) and the pre-2021 requirements for the BBusMan. If you change to the 2021 program and requirements it will be for the dual program as a whole.
New (or in the case of some majors additional) courses will be rolled out progressively over the coming years i.e. not all new/additional courses will be offered in 2021, some will not be offered until 2023. You will need to consider the availability of courses, including for your chosen major, noting that if you change to the 2021 requirements you must complete 16 units for a major.
Due to the limited availability of courses, if you are intending to graduate in 2021 with one of the following majors, you will need to remain under your current (pre-2021) requirements: Business Information Systems, Human Resources, International Business.
If you would like to change to the 2021 requirements to complete either of the new majors (Innovation and Entrepreneurship or Leadership and Management Science), you should note that some courses for these majors will not be offered until 2023. If you are intending to graduate before the end of 2023, you will not be able to complete these majors.
LAWS2700 and LAWS2701 will be taught for the last time in 2021. If you have successfully completed LAWS2700 + LAWS2701 and you change to the 2021 requirements, you will receive 2 units credit towards the new LAWS2708. If you have not completed these courses or have only successfully completed one of them and change to the 2021 requirements, you will not receive any credit and you will be required to complete LAWS2708.
LAWS2704 and LAWS2705 will be taught for the last time in 2022. If you have successfully completed LAWS2704 + LAWS2705 and you change to the 2021 requirements, you will receive 2 units credit towards the new LAWS2709. If you have not completed these courses or have only successfully completed one of them and change to the 2021 requirements, you will not receive any credit and you will be required to complete LAWS2709.
Advertising and Real Estate and Development majors
If you are completing either of these discontinued majors, you will need to remain under your current (pre-2021) program and requirements.
If you are completing the Advertising major, you should note that courses for this major will be phased out starting from 2021. You are encouraged to prioritise completion of these courses and contact us for program planning advice.
Please be reminded that the Real Estate and Development major was discontinued from 2020. If you commenced in 2019 or prior and are completing this major, you should note that courses for this major are being phased out. You are encouraged to prioritise completion of these courses and contact us for program planning advice.
