LLB Law with Business
Our LLB (Hons) Law with Business is a three year full-time degree. It will give you a wide understanding of key legal topics and related skills, as well as developing business skills and competencies. As well as enabling you to progress to the next stage of legal training as a solicitor or barrister, it’s also a great choice if you want to move into a career outside of the legal sector as you’ll study a range of business modules that will make you employment-ready. Studying our degree will also mean you are prepared in part for the new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE 1) or to progress onto our Bar Practice Course (if you wish to qualify as a barrister).
With our LLB Law with Business degree, you will gain valuable real-world skills and experience through your study and business-related work placements. Mock trials, law simulations and pro bono work will ensure you graduate with a practical understanding of law and business. You will learn valuable transferable skills that could help in various professional careers, such as in the finance, banking and legal sectors.
International Students: we are no longer accepting applications from people who need a Student Route visa for full-time courses that start before July 2023.
