Law affects all of our lives and a knowledge of law increases our understanding of business, politics, society and the world in whichwe live. A degree combining Law with Business offers a valuable opportunity to understand the legal structure governing all aspects of our lives today, whilst gaining key business knowledge and skills that provide a valuable foundation for future careers.

This programme combines the study of Business Management and Law, and includes topics such as Business, Management and Marketing alongside a range of Law topics such as Contract, International and Commercial Law. A background in these areas could open doors to a varied and interesting range of careers.

This degree is suitable for individuals aiming for a career in business and management, but who also wish to have a thorough understanding of the legal regulations within which businesses and industry must operate. It may also be suitable for individuals aiming for careers in management within the legal sector, where a thorough background in both law and business is highly valued.

Please note: This is not a qualifying law degree (QLD). Individuals wishing to become solicitors or barristers should apply instead for one of Bangor’s professionally-recognised LLB degrees, all of which enjoy QLD status.

You will spend up to 15 hours per week in lectures, seminars and tutorials. In each Law module you will have 2 hours of lectures and a one hour tutorial every fortnight. In Business modules, you will attend weekly lectures. There is a mixture of continuous assessment and written examinations.
