Overview

On the case

We have nearly 50 years of experience educating lawyers. And it shows:

• We are the second-highest ranked law degree in London for Overall Satisfaction of our students (National Student Survey 2020)
• We are ranked 1st for Graduate Prospects, Research Intensity, and Overall Score amongst London modern universities (Complete University Guide 2021).

Our professional practice-focused LLB Business Law course will give you a thorough grounding in the law with a particular emphasis on Business Law, as well as the opportunity to develop your career and professional skills at the same time.

The course is aimed at students who already know that they are likely to want to work in the business commercial sector of law and covers the key topics of Business Law, Company Law, Consumer Protection & the Law and Employment Law.

Your final year Project will also be on a business or commercial law topic of your choosing. You will be able to graduate with a clear and focused statement of your career intentions.

As well as developing in-depth legal knowledge and academic skills, there is a strong emphasis on experiential learning and legal education for professional practice and the enhancement of professional career prospects. We offer opportunities for all undergraduate students to undertake a work placement, internship or work experience, including in our Legal Advice Clinic, during our core Working in the Law Module.

Teaching and learning

We employ an experiential learning strategy which means that much of our teaching is rooted in professional practice, using placements (including in our Legal Advice Clinic), simulations and professional skills exercises to engage and develop our students. Some of our lecturers are also practitioners and are able to draw upon their professional experience when teaching.
