Bachelor of Law - Business Law (Honours)

LLB (Hons) Business Law keeps the full qualifying-degree foundation subjects — contract, tort, criminal, public, land, equity — while directing the optional credit toward the law of commerce: company law, commercial law, employment law, intellectual property, and banking and finance law. The result is a qualifying LLB whose transcript reads like a commercial practice group’s work list, taught within Leicester De Montfort Law School’s postgraduate-strength commercial law group.

Skills work carries a transactional flavour here — drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, company-formation and governance exercises, and problem questions built on business disputes rather than tort hypotheticals — alongside the school’s standard mooting and pro bono infrastructure. The combination suits students already certain their careers point at corporate, banking or in-house environments rather than crime or family practice.

The option architecture rewards forward planning: commercial modules stack across the final two years, and students intending in-house careers should sequence company law before banking and finance law, a dependency the year-two option meeting explains but late-choosers sometimes miss. As across the law school’s LLB family, the £16,800 fee and three September cycles apply, with the school’s employer programme bringing regional commercial firms onto campus each autumn.

The realistic pathway matches the general LLB — SQE plus qualifying experience for solicitor status, paralegal and compliance entry at £21,000–£26,000 meanwhile — with the commercial specialism adding genuine weight in in-house and regulatory settings, and travelling well back to Indian corporate practice. As a completed honours degree the award qualifies for Graduate Route permission at the post-2027 18-month length, with dependants excluded on taught undergraduate routes.
