Report Recommend

There are many close connections between the law and modern business enterprise. Lawyers acting for commercial clients can benefit from an understanding of organisations, their management and the way they structure their activities. People in business can benefit from a sound knowledge of the law.

This popular programme gives you a thorough grounding in the law and the disciplines and constraints it imposes on business practice. The business studies modules are taught in the Birmingham Business School.

First year

We assume that you have no prior knowledge of the law, so the programme starts with lectures and discussion groups on the legal system, legal sources and methods of reasoning. You then take 80 credits of law modules (Public Law and Law Of Obligations A (Contract) and B (Tort)) and 40 credits of business studies modules (Understanding Organisations, Principles of Marketing, Introduction to Accounting and Introduction to Industrial Economics).

Second year

Again, you take 80 credits of compulsory law modules (Legal Foundations of the European Union and Property Law A and B) plus 40 credits of business studies subjects from a range of optional modules.

Third year

In the final year you study the compulsory Criminal Law module and choose 60 credits of optional law modules from those available to all final-year LLB students and 40 credits from those available in the Business School. There is also an opportunity to research and write a dissertation on a legal topic of your own choice.

Teaching and assessment

The programme is taught by lectures and discussion groups. We assess your work by essays, projects and formal examinations.

Career opportunities

Along with your legal and business knowledge, you acquire strong organisational and IT skills. Some graduates become solicitors or barristers, while others move into business, commerce or banking.

Professional accreditation: this degree is a ‘qualifying’ degree. This means that it provides exemption from the first or academic stage of the examinations required by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Bar Standards Board before you can qualify as a solicitor or barrister
