Want to be a lawyer with a commercial awareness, or a business leader with a keen eye for legal matters? This programme combines law with business management.

Our 3-year BSc (Hons) in Business Studies and Law gives you a clear understanding of the interface between business activity and the legal framework within which it operates.

It prepares you for business careers with a legal dimension, developing insight and transferable skills that set you apart in a competitive job marketplace. You’ll also be able to pursue a legal career through further study after graduation, with the advantage of additional commercial knowledge.

You’ll learn from sector leading academics and seasoned business experts, and qualified solicitors and barristers with a wealth of real world experience. Law has an increasing influence on many aspects of business.

It governs, for example:

• employment protection
• consumer protection
• many aspects of accounting and finance
