Course summary

Develop key business and management skills alongside the insight, understanding and confidence to engage with the fascinating laws that protect and govern the world of business.

  • Gain a solid business grounding and develop skills that allow you to apply the law to novel circumstances.
  • Learn how law and business interact through problem solving exercises based on real-life situations.
  • Build your academic skills and scholarly knowledge and prepare for the world of work in any industry.
Our BA (Hons) Business and Management (Law) degree offers a diverse programme that will equip you with the business skills to work in a range of sectors. You’ll gain a thorough grounding in core business skills as well as specialist knowledge about how law is integrated into business functions and job roles. Engage with fascinating subjects such as contract law, negligence, crime and the law governing business structures, and demonstrate your understanding through interesting problem-solving exercises with real-life case studies. We make law accessible and help you to build your confidence in engaging with the law in different contexts, allowing you to deepen your understanding in this rigorous and thought-provoking course. Your chosen pathway in Law will enable you to specialise in areas of business with significant legal regulation such as Human Resources, or even work in the legal industries in a variety of roles. You’ll learn in a supportive environment with hands-on and dynamic staff and interact with fellow students across the Bath Business School.

Modules

Year one ensures you have a broad and grounded knowledge of business today, giving a platform to develop specialised knowledge as you progress through the course. You'll explore how organisations work, how they are managed and how they interact with the business environment. You'll gain an understanding of economic thinking. You'll develop management skills in gathering and assessing information and data, in making and communicating decisions and in evaluating their effect. In your second year you'll specialise in law as well as learning about the functions of a business and how these interrelate. You’ll start to form opinions about how businesses manage the challenges that are presented to them on a daily basis. You'll have the opportunity to work on projects and to use business techniques to solve problems, and you’ll start to develop your employability skills before seeking a placement at the end of this study year. At the end of this year you have the option to choose a ten month placement or a shorter ten week placement in a business. This is an invaluable chance to apply your legal knowledge and business skills in the real world, making you even more attractive to employers. In your final year, when you finish your placement, you'll practice, develop, challenge and explore all your business learning, and examine management as an integrating activity. In your law-related dissertation you'll explore in depth a topic related to law or regulation that really interests you. You’ll also have the opportunity to work individually or with colleagues to develop and set up a business, and you’ll study a specialist law option.

Assessment method

You'll be assessed in a wide range of ways that will test your business knowledge and management skills. These could include presentations, work related projects, group-work, computer based simulations, podcasts, examinations, essays, videos and business reports.
