LLB (Hons) BUSINESS LAW

As this is a qualifying law degree, you can expect to learn the fundamentals of the profession from day one.

The compulsory modules in your first two years include an introduction to legal skills and methods, and insights into the key specialist areas of the subject. These include contract, land, criminal, human rights, constitutional and administrative law.

In your final year, you’ll need to complete one compulsory module on equity and trusts, but will then be able to choose from a wide range of options. These include intellectual property law, Islamic law, commercial law, media law, client practice and civil and criminal litigation.

If you take these last two options, you can gain the Higher Diploma in Paralegal Practice in addition to your degree.

You’ll be encouraged to ‘learn by doing’ by volunteering for the University’s much-admired Legal Advice Centre in Stratford and through work placements with local law firms.

Students can also choose from a range of business-oriented module options on existing programmes offered by RDSBL in both their second and third years. This is the only qualifying law degree programme at UEL that allows students to choose business option modules at levels 5 and 6. It will also introduce law modules that are available to business students at levels 4, 5 and 6.

This course is highly career-focused, giving you not only a professional legal qualification but also a strong, practical specialisation that is greatly in demand.

You will gain specialist knowledge of the law relating to the regulation and commercial activities of businesses, large and small. Whether you’re interested in a career in the legal profession, business, or the law-related areas of accountancy, financial regulation, insurance and government services, our Business Law degree is for you.

Organisations of all sizes need employees with a broad understanding of corporate and other laws, as well as people with good corporate awareness, initiative and communication skills. This degree will give you the legal background you need to get ahead in business, as well as equipping you with analytical, presentation, research, written and project management skills, all of which are highly transferable.
