Law with Business
LLB (Hons)
Why study this course?
This interdisciplinary law degree will equip you with commercial acumen
that will enable you to understand legal requirements and implications that
businesses of a variety of sizes and sectors might face.
This innovative pathway enables students to study all the law modules
needed for an LLB alongside a bespoke route in business which will
provide a secure grounding in the intellectual traditions and perspectives
that underpin business as a distinctive discipline. You will learn the key
principles and doctrines underlying English, European and International
law and develop an understanding of its social, political, historical and
comparative contexts.
You will have the opportunity to develop your practical experience by
participating in mooting (practising oral arguments), client interviewing,
and volunteering as a Community Legal Companion as part of our
innovative CLOCK programme. You will develop a well-informed
approach to problem solving which will be invaluable to a career in law
or business.
What will this mean for my future?
This programme is accredited by the Solicitors Regulation Authority
and the Bar Standards Board and is a qualifying law degree, offering
the current professional exemptions you need to train to practise as a
solicitor or barrister, but with an enhanced understanding of commercial
and business needs. It will also open up a wide range of other possible
careers, especially in business and finance. After further study and/or
training you might work as a licensed conveyancer, chartered accountant
or tax advisor, for example.
