Law with Financial Management

Law with financial management is a combination that reflects the deep interdependence of legal and financial practice in the modern economy. Law provides the formal rules and regulatory frameworks within which financial activity takes place: contract law, company law, securities regulation, and financial services law all shape how businesses raise capital, manage assets, and engage with markets. Financial management adds the commercial toolkit of investment analysis, corporate finance, and financial decision-making, enabling you to understand the economic logic behind the legal structures you study.

At Bedfordshire, the law programme has earned strong recognition in the National Student Survey, ranking in the UK top ten in its subject field for learning opportunities. You will study the core areas of English law, including contract, tort, criminal, constitutional, and commercial law, alongside financial management modules that develop your understanding of corporate finance, investment, and financial reporting. The programme develops the legal reasoning and analytical skills that are central to any law career alongside the financial literacy that is particularly valuable in commercial legal practice and related professional roles.

It runs over three years full-time, with a typical entry tariff of 72 points.

Graduates of law with financial management programmes are well placed for careers in commercial legal practice, financial services regulation, compliance, corporate finance, and roles that combine legal and commercial expertise. The dual qualification provides a strong foundation for professional legal training as a solicitor or barrister, with particular strength in commercial and financial law. Many graduates also go on to postgraduate study or professional qualifications in law or finance, building on the integrated knowledge the undergraduate degree provides.
