LLB (Hons) Law with International Business and Management

Course Details

You will be equipped for both legal practice and the realities of business and management in a globalised and fast-changing world. This course will give you a broad understanding of law, business theories and management practices in an international context. You will learn how to make strategic business and management decisions and develop skills in legal analysis and problem solving. As a student of Leeds Law School, you will be able to access a wide range of law textbooks online for free through Law Trove, a subscription-only service offered by Oxford University Press.

Changes to legal education and training
Legal education and training has been subject to a detailed review by professional regulators in the legal sector. The review has examined the routes to qualification as a solicitor or barrister.

The Bar Standards Board (BSB) no longer requires the study of a 'Qualifying Law Degree' (QLD), however, the study of what are referred to as the 'legal foundations of knowledge' is still required before the vocational stage of bar training. All our undergraduate law degrees meet this requirement. The changes to the routes to qualification as a solicitor are due to be finalised in the summer of 2020, with the introduction of those changes provisionally from September 2021 onwards.

Applicants and prospective applicants are invited to find out more about the changes at our open days and applicant days. In addition, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board (BSB) have issued a common protocol for guidance.

Job Prospects

All our undergraduate courses are recognised by the regulatory bodies of the legal profession and will allow you to undertake further training to qualify as a solicitor or barrister, or as a legal executive if you opt to complete the CILEx modules in your final year. You will also have the knowledge and skills to work in business and management roles or start your own enterprise. Further study options include our LLM International Business Law and we also offer opportunities to study for a PhD.
