LLB Business Law
Course overview
The three-year LLB Business Law is not a general law degree; it is a specialist undergraduate course suited for students looking to work in commercial or business law. It ensures they gain a strong foundation in all the core legal knowledge essential for becoming professionals. A key benefit is the opportunity to select specific modules covering areas of interest, such as trade law, competition law, and commercial sales.
Learning will be delivered through a blend of lectures, seminars, and workshops, and boosted by practical opportunities like the excellent Law Clinic, where students can practise advising real clients. Students will be assessed through a variety of methods, including written examinations, coursework, mock courtroom advocacy, and the preparation of legal reports. Students may also choose to spend a Year Abroad at a partner institution.
