Law with Business Management

Law with Business Management at the University of Hull combines a qualifying law degree with the management knowledge and commercial understanding that modern legal careers increasingly require. Law does not happen in a vacuum: it is practised within organisations, whether law firms, in-house legal teams, government departments or regulatory bodies, and an understanding of how those organisations work and what drives the decisions of their clients is a genuine asset for any aspiring legal professional.

The law component of the degree covers the core foundations required for a qualifying degree: contract law, tort, criminal law, constitutional and administrative law, equity and trusts, and land law. You will develop legal reasoning, the ability to research and analyse cases and statutes, and the practical professional skills that the degree cultivates. The business management strand introduces you to the principles of organisational behaviour, marketing, finance, strategy and operations, giving you a commercial vocabulary and analytical framework that complements your legal training.

Hull Law School takes pride in its personal, community-oriented approach to legal education, treating students as professionals-in-the-making from the outset. The focus is on helping you develop not just legal knowledge but confidence, critical thinking and the ability to engage with complex problems in an environment where you are known as an individual.

The three-year full-time LLB is a qualifying law degree, keeping open the route into legal practice as a solicitor or barrister subject to completing the required professional training. Graduates also work in commercial roles, compliance, management consultancy, the civil service, financial services and the third sector. Postgraduate study in law, business administration or commercial law is a natural continuation.
