Program overview
A three year combined honours degree pairing economics with legal study, covering micro and macroeconomics alongside legal principles, regulation and a final dissertation.
Read the award carefully: this is a Bachelor of Arts, not an LLB, which changes what it opens legally.
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Economics with Law is taught at Bath Spa University, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the economics with law degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the economics with law degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the economics with law degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the economics with law degree does not support a family move.
Entry to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Economics with Law is a recognised post-secondary certificate or equivalent at 50 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the economics with law degree is recorded at GBP 17,310. Bath Spa charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the economics with law degree. The economics with law degree lists three entry windows, one September start in each of three consecutive years. Apply Study Visa manages your the economics with law degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A recognised post-secondary certificate, Class 12 or equivalent, at the percentage stated.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 72 with reading 18, writing 17, speaking 20 and listening 17; PTE Academic 59 with reading 50, writing 55, speaking 55 and listening 50; or the Duolingo English Test at 110.
- Application and deposit: Bath Spa charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: This is not a qualifying law degree. Practising as a solicitor in England and Wales requires a law conversion, the Solicitors Qualifying Examination and two years of qualifying work experience.
- Work rights: the economics with law degree is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. No dependant may accompany you on a taught course.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.
