In today’s interconnected global economy, the boundaries between legal and commercial practice are increasingly intertwined. Businesses face complex legal challenges, from navigating government regulations and international trade policies to managing mergers, acquisitions, taxation, and intellectual property. At the same time, legal professionals are expected to understand the commercial realities within which legal frameworks operate.
This Joint Honours degree provides students with a strong foundation in both legal and business disciplines. It fosters a critical understanding of the legal structures that underpin business activity, as well as the economic and strategic contexts in which the law functions. Students will explore key areas of overlap between the two fields, including company law, competition and market regulation, consumer protection, labour law, finance and taxation, and international commercial law.
By integrating these perspectives, the programme equips graduates with the analytical, legal, and commercial skills essential for careers in corporate law, business consultancy, financial regulation, and beyond.
Is this Programme for me?
This course is aimed at individuals seeking a career defined by the application of legal principles and management practices. Whether your ambition is to work in corporate law, financial services, entrepreneurship, or regulatory bodies, the degree equips you with the skills to navigate both legal and commercial challenges with confidence. It also cultivates critical thinking, strategic decision-making, and a deep understanding of the structures that govern markets and enterprise. In a world where law and business are increasingly interconnected, graduates with knowledge of both disciplines are highly sought after by employers across sectors and jurisdictions.
