This Degree programme is designed to be academically coherent and intellectually demanding. The educational programme will be presented with an applied focus using a range of teaching and learning methods. The programme therefore is very attractive to students and offers them considerable potential for development. Modules are grouped into themes which reflect the different areas of study involved and this is done to provide cohesion within the degree structure. All modules are compulsory and the course structure is designed to provide students with the optimal choices with regard to further study, professional education and career choices.

Because of the broad spectrum of subjects studied, career opportunities for legal studies and business graduates are numerous. The wide-ranging nature of knowledge and skills gained by such graduates makes them an attractive proposition for any prospective employer. Graduates have the opportunity to add value for both employers and themselves on a daily basis. Graduates can test theories, apply concepts and undertake practical project work. Many will pursue a professional legal qualification either as solicitors (Law Society) or barristers (Kings Inns). The BA enables students to sit the Law Society’s entrance examinations and students may also apply for entry to the Kings Inns Diploma course. Others may wish to professionally qualify outside the jurisdiction in England & Wales or indeed the US. Students wishing to pursue further qualifications can proceed to postgraduate programmes up to Masters Level or beyond. Regardless of students’ career choices, a combination of both legal and business training provides prospective employers or institutions of further study, with a solid platform from which to recruit.
