China Study Tour

2008 China Study Tour will not be running because of the Beijing Olympics. Start planning now for 2009 when the Tour will take off again!

Since 1996 Deakin University School of Law has conducted its mid-year Chinese Commercial Law study tour at the Chinese University of Political Science & Law (CUPL) in Beijing.

Students who undertake the tour are invited to enrol in the unit MLL344/MLM703 Chinese Commercial Law and during the intensive two week program divide their time between classes conducted at the University, field trips and sightseeing in and around the city of Beijing.

The study tour is open to all Deakin University students, as well as students from other institutions and practitioners. It is a fantastic opportunity to combine study and travel and is very popular with around 40 students taking part each year.

The unit Chinese Commercial Law covers topics such as the Chinese legal system, contract law, foreign investment and trade laws, intellectual property law, labour law relating to joint ventures and dispute resolution. In addition to undertaking classes and seminars, students visit relevant legal centres in Beijing such as the Chinese people’s law court, a law firm, the State Intellectual Property Bureau and CIETAC, the arbitration commission.
