Program Overview

The LLB Law with Business Management at Hull brings together legal training and commercial insight — ideal for students who want to understand both the law and how businesses operate. You’ll study core legal principles alongside modules on the economy, business ecosystems, and management, giving you a well-rounded foundation for careers in law, business, or consultancy.

Curriculum Structure

Year 1
In your first year, you’ll cover fundamental legal topics such as Introduction to Law and its Study, Systems of Justice, Criminal Law, and Public and European Law.

Year 2
Next, you’ll deepen your understanding of both disciplines by taking Obligations I – The Law of Tort and Obligations II – The Law of Contract in your legal studies. On the business side, you’ll expand your knowledge of economic and management theory through more advanced modules that explore real-world business challenges and strategy — all while reflecting on legal implications.

Year 3
In the final year, you engage with a highly practical module called Real‑World Law, developed in partnership with practising solicitors, arbitrators, and business professionals. You’ll also select optional modules relevant to both legal and business frameworks, allowing you to tailor your degree to your interests and future career plans, while refining your professional skills through applied legal and business training.
