Overview

This course can be taken either as a qualifying law degree (providing exemption from the academic stage of professional legal training), or a non-qualifying degree (opening up a range of careers outside the legal profession). We will provide detailed knowledge and understanding of legal rules and their contexts. You will develop employability skills which will prepare you for a range of careers. You will also gain experience in practical legal research and problem-solving. We are one of the biggest law schools in the country, which enables us to offer a wide range of optional modules

Student profiles

What our student's say

‘Studying the LLB (Business Law) at London Met has been a great experience. I have had the opportunity to work with lecturers who are leaders in their field academically and also lecturers with fantastic industry knowledge who have run successful companies and are now passing that knowledge on. Combined with the fact that I am studying in the Square Mile, and the links the university has with both national and multinational companies, all makes for an experience I would certainly recommend.’ Gordon Nixon, Final year student
