Learn to think like a lawyer and gain insight into the business world on this combined course.
This is not a typical Law School experience. We offer a personal experience where every student counts. Here, you’re a professional-in-the-making from day one, learning as a valued member of a tight-knit legal community. We take the time to get to know you, develop your abilities, help you challenge current thinking and grow in confidence.

About this course
Discover the complex relationship between law and business.
You’ll gain insight into commercial law, business management, the economy and global environment, alongside core legal topics – and build a strong foundation for a future career within law or as a business professional.
We provide you with much more than a degree. We’re all about preparation for your career.
You’ll practise legal skills in mock trials, Law Society mooting and client interviewing competitions. Build your experience with mini-pupillages at Wilberforce Chambers and internships with local law firms and government. Work alongside legal professionals – on cases such as employment tribunals in our Legal Advice Centre. And learn from practising professionals on our Real-World Law module, which is developed in partnership with leading local law firms.
You can rub shoulders with leading law firms at our yearly careers convention. You could also study abroad and make international contacts at one of our highly ranked partner institutions. And you’re guaranteed a place at the University of Law2, which prepares students for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE).
