Business Management with Law with Foundation and Placement Years

Business Management with Law is a combination that gives you both the commercial skills to manage organisations effectively and the legal knowledge to understand the regulatory and contractual frameworks within which they operate. Modern business is conducted within an intricate web of legal obligations, from employment and contract law to consumer protection, intellectual property, and corporate governance. Managers who understand those frameworks are better equipped to make decisions, manage risk, and lead their organisations through an increasingly complex commercial and regulatory environment.

At the University of Law in London, this five-year, full-time programme includes a foundation year and a placement year. The foundation year provides the academic grounding that students need before beginning the main degree, and the placement year gives you substantial professional experience in a business or legal environment. You will study the principles of business management, including strategy, operations, marketing, finance, and organisational behaviour, alongside the core areas of English law including contract, employment, and company law.

The degree also develops the communication skills that professional environments demand, in both formal and informal contexts, and builds the reflective habits that allow you to learn from experience and adapt over time. The University of Law's London campus places you in one of the world's leading business and legal centres.

Graduates of Business Management with Law pursue careers in commercial management, legal compliance, human resources, contract management, business development, and consultancy. The legal dimension of the degree also supports progression towards professional legal qualifications for those who wish to pursue that path. Many graduates move into postgraduate study in business, law, or management, building specialist expertise for senior roles.

The combination of commercial and legal understanding is valued across every sector in which organisations must operate within a defined legal framework.
