The Faculty of Business and Law holds its own course induction for all new undergraduate students enrolled in the Faculty. The course induction is an important part of your orientation. At the induction you learn more about the faculty and your course and get to meet your lecturers, students studying in the course as well as new students like you. If you were unable to attend the course induction we recommend you read through the presentation slides as they contain very useful information about the faculty, what you can expect at university and the services and facilities available.
