Law has an increasing influence on many aspects of business. It governs, for example, contractual arrangements, employment protection, consumer protection and many aspects of accounting and finance. It is not enough, in many cases, to be aware of the legal provisions- you also need to understand how they apply in practice. Our Business Studies and Law degree:

• Gives equal emphasis to the acquisition of knowledge and skills in both business and law;
• Helps you to develop a clear understanding of the interface between business activity and the legal framework within which it operates;
• Provides good preparation for business careers that have a legal dimension;
• Offers the possibility of partial exemption from the academic stage of training if you want to qualify as a solicitor or barrister.

Flexibility to suit your needs

You will have scope to tailor the Business Studies and Law course to suit your needs. For example, you may take the course over three continuous years, or over four years with a year of practical work experience. If you take the four-year course, you will spend at least nine months gaining practical experience outside the University, usually working in industry, commerce or business. You may combine your studies at Bradford with a semester in Europe, Canada, Australia or Hong Kong following equivalent courses to our own (although not all our partner institutions in these countries offer courses in law), for which you will receive full credit.

You may also combine your studies with a language; the University offers a number of language classes throughout your study time with us.

Your career options

The growing importance of law has created new job opportunities in careers that link business and law. A wide variety of career paths will open up to you if you complete our Business Studies and Law degree. Among the organizations recently to have employed our Business Studies and Law graduates are Bradford Council, Halifax Magistrates' Court... and the University of Bradford!
