If you would like to combine two subjects which have very strong interdisciplinary links then Business and Law will be a good choice for you. Studying business and law is a great route to a range of careers including management or in the public sector or finance or banking.

The degree courses are designed to give you the maximum choice so that you can fit your studies to your interests and/or your career aspirations. In your first year you will study equal credits of law and business. You choose in your first year whether you wish to continue combining law and business modules equally or whether you want to major in either law or business.

If you choose to major in law you can by selecting a certain combination of modules gain a qualifying law degree (QLD). This is the best route to take if you want to study business modules and you also want to become either a Solicitor or a Barrister.

Placements

The skills you gain in your degree can be combined in a work placement to develop the commercial awareness that employers are looking for.  We offer placements in a range of organisations which significantly increases your ability to gain a professional and/ or managerial role in a legal or wider setting.  If you take a sandwich year it is expected that you will do a placement year as it could have such a positive impact on your career. Comprehensive support is provided to help you gain your placement. 

It is possible to study abroad for a year or to do a placement year after completing Year two. In addition to the very useful experience you could also achieve academic credit by selecting the appropriate module listed below:

Flexibility

We understand that as you develop through study, work and life experiences what you want to do at the end of your studies may change. It may also be that the political or economic circumstances of the country change whilst you are studying. We aim to help you to make successful choices in terms of study options and work experiences. This will help you to make the right choices during and at the end of your programme of studies to achieve your career.
