Law with Internation Business with Foundation Year

Law combined with international business is a degree for students who want to understand the legal frameworks that govern commercial activity across borders, and to develop the communication and analytical skills that are essential in both legal and business careers. Law is one of the foundational disciplines of modern society, shaping the rights and obligations of individuals, companies, and states. International business adds a dimension of commercial and cross-cultural understanding that is increasingly important in a world where trade, investment, and corporate activity routinely cross national boundaries.

At the University of Law, this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation year, which gives you the academic preparation needed before progressing to degree-level study. The combined programme will develop your understanding of core legal principles alongside the commercial and organisational knowledge needed to operate in international business contexts. You will build skills in communication, critical analysis, and reflection, learning to evaluate evidence, construct arguments, and adapt your approach to different professional and cultural environments.

The ability to communicate effectively, both formally and informally, and to understand the role of digital and social media in modern business, is woven through the programme. The typical entry tariff is 104 UCAS points.

Graduates move into careers in commercial law, compliance, corporate governance, international trade, financial services, and business management. The combination of legal and commercial understanding is particularly valued by employers in sectors where regulatory and contractual complexity is high, such as banking, insurance, technology, and international trade. Some graduates go on to professional legal qualification, while others use their analytical and communication skills in management, consultancy, or public affairs.

Postgraduate study in law, business, or a related field is also a natural progression.
