Climate Change and Emissions Trading Law is an elective subject in undergraduate programs offered by the Faculty of Law. The subject focuses on the law and practice in markets for trading of carbon credits arising from reductions of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). It examines the various international frameworks and policies for climate change mitigation. Legal rules in domestic frameworks for regulation of GHG emissions in Europe, USA, China, New Zealand, and Australia are examined and contextualised through an exploration of issues for design of access regimes, linkages, and complementary measures.

Understanding how the planet works has never been more important as a topic in tertiary education. A practical understanding of that and how it can affect humanity is vital. This knowledge will be required to combat climate change through all career structures. Understanding climate change is now as important as learning how the economy, the legal system and how our national and international society works because it will affect all of these in the future.  This subject will introduce you to climate change through Earth and Global Systems, climate mechanisms, ocean and atmospheric interactions and changes in the future world. In this subject, the climate change complexity is explained within the realm of general undergraduate knowledge. We will discuss current and future outcomes of climate change together with climate processes, human activity, impacts on biodiversity, the oceans and biological extinction. Major issues arising include drought, desertification, rising heat, natural disasters and loss of habitats and habitable and agricultural areas. Increasing sea levels and severe weather events will impact human habitation, cause forced migration, food production and the loss of animals, fish, and their habitats. All these issues will challenge the world’s economic systems, political boundaries, global communities, international law, geopolitical boundaries and our philosophy towards others and the natural world. Forced population movement and migrations caused by sea level rise as well as changes in disease patterns will compound these problems, particularly with a growing world population.  The subject will provide you with the ability to filter out misinformation about the causes and consequences of climate change, and how you can face your future with a greater understanding of how to tackle a changing world.

Coding, Cybersecurity & Cryptoliteracy for Lawyers is an elective subject in the Bachelor of Laws offered by the Faculty of Law. The subject considers the relationship between law and information technology and covers the basics of internet transaction security. Both operational and legal principles are considered. It introduces the student to basic principles of coding in a modern language and how common internet cryptographic systems work. This includes an outline of the theory, practice of, and legal issues associated with digital signatures, the RSA public key system and blockchain systems. Along with appropriate web-based resources, Microsoft Excel/VBA is used as the primary vehicle to illustrate both coding fundamentals and the principles and operation of cryptographic systems.

In today's work and study environments, individuals often encounter complex, open-ended problems that necessitate collaboration in both physical and virtual realms and across sectors and specialisations. In Collaboration for Global Change, students engage collaboratively to craft genuine solutions for global issues. In this context, students link their endeavours to specific sustainable development goals, thus positioning their actions as contributions to global citizenship. As they learn to defend their ideas and perspectives, students apply critical thinking, design thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills within a problem-based learning environment. This comprehensive approach equips them with the necessary skills and mindset to excel in future work, academic pursuits, and global initiatives.
