Program Description

Would you like to learn skills in business leadership and people management at the same time as gaining a law degree?This Bachelor of Laws (LLB) gives you the choice to study for your solicitor exams or your Bar exams after you graduate. Alongside your study of law you'll gain knowledge of:
  • corporate social responsibility
  • ethical decision making
  • strategic management
  • people management
This course is ideal if you're considering a career in corporate law, which is one of the most highly paid sectors of law (Prospects 2021). It will also equip you for a career in business.
The thing that attracted to me to Portsmouth initially was the course’s balance between academic study and practical application. You wouldn't just learn all the technical things you needed from a book and be done with them, you’d also be taught how to apply them to real life cases that you might encounter down the road.
