Business Management with Law

The BA (Hons) Business Management with Law blends commercial acumen with legal thinking across three progressive years. Students begin with entrepreneurship fundamentals and client experience before moving into sustainability, leadership, and legal strategy for entrepreneurs. The final year emphasizes international strategy, environmental considerations, and consultancy projects that prepare graduates for roles in compliance, business consulting, or legal analysis through a triple-accredited school where BBC, NatWest, IBM, and Manchester City professionals contribute to teaching.

Students learn alongside Sports Policy Unit and Institute of Sport resources while attending masterclasses, weekly lectures, and arbitration competitions led by practitioners and policymakers.

For aspiring solicitors, the LLM Legal Practice integrates SQE preparation through dedicated modules and an interactive platform containing materials, assessments, and exercises. The Professionals in Practice component introduces real professional challenges while developing commercial awareness and legal technology skills.
