Curriculum Structure

Year 1 — Building the foundations
Your first year sets the groundwork in both disciplines, helping you understand how markets and legal systems function. You’ll study core subjects like Introduction to Law, Principles of Economics, and Business Organization, giving you a solid base in legal reasoning and business fundamentals. This year is all about learning the language of law and management.

Year 2 — Core business and legal systems
In the second year, you start connecting theory with real-world systems. Courses such as Civil Law, Financial Accounting, and Statistics for Business help you understand legal structures, financial reporting, and data-driven decision-making. You’ll begin to see how legal rules and business operations influence each other.

Year 3 — Expanding into corporate and public frameworks
This year deepens your expertise in how organizations and governments operate. You’ll explore subjects like Commercial Law, Corporate Finance, and Administrative Law, building confidence in regulatory environments and financial strategy. It’s where business thinking and legal frameworks truly come together.

Year 4 — Strategy, regulation, and global perspective
Now you move into more advanced and strategic areas. With modules such as Tax Law, Marketing Management, and International Economic Law, you’ll learn how companies compete, comply, and grow in global markets. Your perspective becomes more international and professionally focused.

Year 5 — Specialisation and professional preparation
In the final full year, learning becomes more applied and career-oriented. Courses like Labour Law, Strategic Management, and Commercial Contracts prepare you for leadership, negotiation, and complex legal-business decision-making. You’ll sharpen practical skills that employers value highly.
