Law and Business Studies

In your first three years, you will study a range of core modules from both Schools. These include Markets, Marketing and Strategy, Modern English Legal System and a jointly taught International Business Environment module. You can also choose from a variety of options from within Business and Law. If you choose the four-year course, you may take four or five full Law and/or Business modules in any combination.

For each module you’ll usually have two lectures per week, plus regular seminars which offer opportunities for legal problem solving and discussion of ethical or policy issues relating to the law. Staff also have regular advice and feedback hours in which you can discuss issues outside the seminar setting. We employ a range of innovative teaching methods, such as performance based learning, reflective journals and dramatised dissertations.

Our contextual approach to law means that we ask for consistent work and for your full commitment throughout the course. In return, we will give you all the support and advice needed to help you realise your full potential.

We offer a variety of assessment methods, with emphasis placed on continuing assessment through class tests, essays and other formative and summative written work. Depending on module choice, you may be able to weight your degree towards either examinations or essays.
