LLB Business Law

University of East London

Course overview

This is a four-year, full-time degree that starts with one year of preparation (a foundation year) before students begin the main law course. The first year is built to help them settle into university life, gain confidence, and develop essential skills. It teaches important abilities like academic writing, critical thinking, and data analysis to ensure they are ready for the challenging law study that comes next.

After the first year, the remaining three years cover the core legal topics such as contract law, criminal law, and public law, with a strong emphasis on business law. Teaching blends studying on their own with active class discussions led by their tutors. Students' grades are based on written and spoken exams and different written assignments. The course also helps them build vital professional skills for their future job.
