Business Law

Take the first step towards a range of exciting careers in business and commercial law with our specialised LLB degree programme.

You will gain a comprehensive grounding in the core areas covered by a law degree. As your studies progress, you can choose from a wide range of subject areas with a business focus, including: trade law, media law, commercial sales, and employment law.

Throughout your business law degree, you will develop excellent research and analytical skills and learn to present your ideas effectively both verbally and in writing.

All of our undergraduate Law programmes contain the foundations of legal knowledge needed to enter the legal profession. Our programmes provide a strong foundation for students who may wish to take the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE) in the future, and satisfy the academic stage of training required by the Bar Standards Board for those wishing to become barristers.

We offer an inclusive, student-focussed learning environment and community. Modules are delivered and assessed in a variety of different ways and you will be encouraged to take responsibility for your own learning, to work independently as well as with others, to act professionally, and to master new skills. As well as teaching and learning activities we offer a broad range of opportunities for you to get involved: from research-based placements, to working with clients, to developing advocacy and other skills. Our thriving Law Clinic offers students the opportunity to get involved in giving advice to clients and we have programmes of extra-curricular mooting, negotiation and interviewing.

Our undergraduate degree structure, with its range of final year optional modules, gives you plenty of scope to tailor your studies to your particular interests, career goals, or ambitions.

This programme presents you with the chance to study abroad for a year at one of our partner institutions. Broadening your horizons and picking up new life experiences and skills can help to give you a competitive advantage when entering the world of work.
