Entry Requirements
Please see the general entry requirements page.
This is a well-established and successful course which has been running since 1981. It provides a sound academic legal education which is recognised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Council as a qualifying law degree.
The first year provides a common core course structure that is also studied by students on the Law LLB(Hons)/Master of Law and Practice and the LLB European Legal Studies courses, allowing you to transfer between these routes after Year 1.
The interaction of law with the business world is of vital importance to the efficient running of the commercial world, particularly with the importance of the European Union, international trade and banking. This course is ideal if you want to work in the commercial and business sectors of the economy.
For this route you select business law related options in Years 2 and 3. These are Revenue Law (compulsory) and two from Company Law, Commercial Law, Employment Law and Insolvency Law and Practice. Other options are also available.
