Law with Business

Law with Business is a combination that recognises the practical reality of how legal knowledge operates in commercial environments. Law provides the rigorous analytical framework for understanding the rules and principles that govern behaviour and commercial relationships, developing skills in legal reasoning, the interpretation of statutes and cases, and the ability to communicate complex legal arguments clearly. Business adds the commercial awareness and management knowledge that legal professionals increasingly need in order to advise clients effectively and to operate within organisations.

At the University of Law, this three-year full-time programme develops your legal knowledge across the core areas of English law alongside communication skills and business understanding that are directly relevant to professional practice. You will consider appropriate methods of communication across formal and informal environments, develop your understanding of how digital and social media operate in professional contexts, and build the reflective practice that allows you to learn from experience and improve over time. The University of Law's focus on professional preparation means the programme is designed with graduate outcomes directly in mind.

For those wishing to qualify as solicitors or barristers in England and Wales, further professional training will be required after graduating. Law with Business graduates are also well placed for roles in compliance, legal operations, human resources, contract management, corporate communications, and business development roles that require legal literacy without full professional qualification. Postgraduate study in law, business administration, or an LLM in a specialist area of commercial law is a natural route for those who wish to specialise further or accelerate their professional development.
