International Business
and Law
Why study this course?

Organisations around the world face increasingly complex
and inter-linked challenges, so this course blends essential
themes of business, law and internationalisation.
This single honours course explores the interconnectedness of these
three themes, helping you to achieve a critical understanding of the
legal frameworks which shape business at UK, EU and international
levels. You’ll learn key business and legal skills, looking at issues such as
contracts and company law. You’ll develop a critical awareness of the
social, political and comparative contexts in which law operates, while
studying business and management in the private and public sectors and
learning about core disciplines within business (for example, you might
look at marketing and human resource management).
