Course description
On this programme, students will benefit from a curriculum that is designed to provide practical experience which will complement their academic understanding of business and legal issues with the aim of bridging the gap between academic study and practical experience. Graduates are trained to work broadly within the legal profession with the ability to investigate and advise on intellectual property issues, company formation and structure, copyright in existing and new media and the legal dimensions of international business. This programme has been built around the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators International Qualifying Scheme and was motivated by the changing demands of modern businesses. The degree is built to provide a mixture of law, business and personal development that makes it a unique programme in the UK. Mastering how the law affects business can give you a real edge in your career.
Students will spend a significant amount of time working on real business problems. An inseparable part of teaching and learning will be dedicated to developing communication and other transferable skills that will prepare graduates for almost any type of business they choose to work in the fields of management and law. The degree is built up of individual courses, so learners can achieve their goals step by step.
Students will gain comprehensive knowledge of business environment and organisational behaviour. Particular emphasis is given to the role of the courts, governments and international agents in the development of the law which regulates the global business environment and multinational enterprises. The programme will offer an opportunity for critical analysis of the complex legal matters which can arise in business context. Individual courses will develop a critical awareness of, and an ability to utilize, available legal tools and techniques in the framework of modern business. In-class curricula and independent learning will allow students to develop valuable communication skills, master their confidence and get ideas across.
The practical focus will allows graduates to enter the workplace with a highly marketable range of knowledge, skills and experience.
