Business with Law

Business and law are deeply intertwined in the modern economy. Every commercial decision, from a contract negotiation and a company acquisition to a regulatory compliance question and an employment dispute, has a legal dimension, and the organisations that navigate that complexity most effectively are those where commercial and legal thinking work together. A degree in Business with Law develops precisely that combination, giving you a grounded understanding of how organisations function and compete alongside a rigorous introduction to the legal frameworks within which business operates.

At Queen Mary University of London, this three-year full-time programme draws on QMUL's strong position in both business education and law. You will study core business subjects including management, finance, marketing, strategy, and organisational behaviour, alongside company law, contract law, employment law, and the legal and regulatory environment that shapes commercial activity. The degree does not lead directly to qualification as a lawyer, but it equips you with legal literacy that is genuinely valuable in management roles and provides a strong foundation for those who want to go on to legal study, including the Graduate Diploma in Law or a law conversion programme.

QMUL's London location puts you in the heart of one of the world's major financial and commercial centres, and the university has strong links to business and legal sectors that provide context and, for many students, career opportunities.

Graduates move into management consulting, financial services, human resources, compliance and regulatory roles, commercial law firm support roles, and general management across a wide range of industries. Many pursue legal training after graduation. Others move into business analysis, procurement, or public sector management.

The combination of commercial intelligence and legal awareness is a strong asset wherever business and regulation intersect.
