Course syllabus

Course overview

The aim of EKR111 Introduction to Commercial Law (3 credits) is to give you a basic understanding of the legal rules—such as laws, regulations, and customs—that govern relationships between businesses, as well as between businesses and society, organisations, and individuals.

During the course, you will develop the ability to identify legal problems and suggest appropriate solutions. The focus is on helping you understand how different legal rules relate to each other, including their similarities and differences, rather than learning detailed legal provisions.

Please read the study guide to prepare for the course (available upon registration).
