About
UWA's admission requirements for some postgraduate courses have changed for Semester 2, 2020 to facilitate student access to study during the COVID-19 situation.
In many cases, these changes may not be extended beyond 2020.
Contact Future Students for more information.This course aims to provide students with an advanced and practical understanding of Chinese business laws and their relevant social, cultural and economic contexts.
The course is formed by two (or three) intensive teaching periods with each period not exceeding two weeks.
This course includes an optional study tour unit that is taught in China to provide students with the opportunity to real access to the China experience.
Thus the course may not be taught in standard semesters and may exceed the standard six-month delivery time frame.
