Course summary

The popular LLB Law with Business Studies degree, taught in partnership with Birmingham Business School, gives you a thorough grounding in English law and the disciplines and constraints it imposes on business practice, opening up career opportunities across a diverse range of areas.

There are 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 concrete knowledge of the law.

In each year of this qualifying LLB Law degree course you will study both Law and Business, and the proportion is approximately two-thirds law to one-third business.

For almost 100 years Birmingham Law School have made a major contribution to teaching and scholarship, and you’ll learn from prestigious academics who are working at the top of their field influencing law and policy around the world.
