In the global economy, businesses now deal with more complex issues concerning government regulations and international trade policies. Conversely, the law has had to grapple with constantly evolving commercial organizations and business practices. With the growth in the size of legal practices and the expansion of the work of the legal profession into areas of mergers, acquisitions and taxation, the work of legal graduates and business graduates has blended in many aspects.

This joint degree aims to give students an in-depth understanding in the disciplines of law and business and to develop a critical understanding of both the legal framework of business activity and the economic and commercial context in which law operates.

Students will have the opportunity to focus upon the many areas of overlapping interest between the two disciplines, for example, the structure of companies and other forms of business organization, competition law and regulation of markets, consumer law, labor law, finance and financial markets, taxation, the protection of intellectual property and international perspectives on law and business.

This course is aimed at individuals seeking a career defined by the application of legal principles and management practices. The program will provide students with a firm grounding in law along with strong management skills; enabling students to choose from a wide range of career opportunities or further study.
