Overview

Our Business Studies and Law course prepares students for business careers that have a legal dimension. Law has an increasing influence on many aspects of business. It governs, for example, contractual arrangements, employment protection, consumer protection and many aspects of accounting and finance. The degree will give you a clear understanding of the interface between business activity and the legal framework within which it operates.

Among the organisations recently to have employed our Business Studies and Law graduates are Bradford Council, Halifax Magistrates' Court and the University of Bradford.

The course offers the possibility of partial exemption from the academic stage of training if you want to qualify as a solicitor or barrister.

You may take the course over three or four years. The four-year course includes a minimum of nine months gaining practical experience outside the university, usually working on a placement in industry or commerce.

In the second and final year, you go on to combine compulsory business and law-themed modules with the choice of a list of optional specialist modules which allows you to design a programme of study to suit your needs and interests.

Every module will assess students differently, and there is a wide variety of assessment methods available in both business studies and law.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
