BA Law and Business

Edge Hill University

Course overview

This BA in Law and Business is a three-year full-time course that brings together legal studies and business topics. It teaches students how law and businesses work together. The aim is to give students the knowledge, skills, and experience they need to do well in today's difficult business world. The course trains students to become solicitors or barristers and also prepares them for jobs in the business area.

In the first year, students will learn about the legal system, contract law, and how businesses operate now. The second year looks at legal areas important to business, basic law subjects, and international business. Students will be graded through coursework, exams, and practical tasks. There are chances for work placements too, so students can use what they learn in real-life situations.
