Law with Business with Foundation year

Law with business is a degree that combines formal legal education with business and management knowledge, preparing graduates both for legal careers and for the many commercial roles where understanding the law is a significant professional advantage. Law is a demanding intellectual discipline that develops rigorous analytical thinking, careful reading of complex documents, the construction of structured arguments, and the ability to apply rules to novel factual situations. Business adds the commercial context, developing your understanding of how organisations operate, how commercial transactions are structured, and how legal and regulatory frameworks govern business activity.

At the University of Law, this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation year for students who would benefit from additional academic preparation before the main law and business content begins. The University of Law is one of the UK's leading specialist legal education providers, with strong connections to the legal profession and a long history of preparing students for careers in law. You will develop core legal skills alongside business and management knowledge, gaining the dual qualification that is increasingly valued by law firms, in-house legal teams, and commercial organisations.

With a typical entry tariff of 72 UCAS points, this is an accessible programme at a specialist provider with strong professional connections. Graduates pursue careers in legal practice as solicitors with further professional qualification, in in-house legal roles across business and industry, in paralegal and legal support roles, in compliance and regulatory functions, and in commercial and management roles where legal understanding is professionally valued. Many graduates also continue to the Solicitors Qualifying Examination or Legal Practice Course as the next step toward qualification as a solicitor.
