Course summary


This is a Connected Degree

Portsmouth is the only University in the UK with the flexibility to choose when to do an optional paid placement or self-employed year. Either take a placement in your third year, or finish your studies first and complete a placement in your fourth year. You can decide if and when to take a placement after you've started your course.


Overview

Develop the skills and knowledge of a law degree alongside a broad understanding of business. Explore how law relates to industry, and how industry operates within the law. This course is ideal if you're considering a career in corporate law, one of the most highly paid sectors of law (Prospects 2021), and will equip you with the leadership skills you need to succeed as a business professional. You’ll learn core aspects of the legal framework that impacts business and organisations, such as corporate commercial law and contract law, and use facilities including our replica courtroom to practise your skills in a realistic environment. You’ll apply your learning in practical settings throughout the course - with initiatives such as our Community Lawyer module where you’ll have the opportunity to put your learning into practice with live client work. If you choose to take an optional paid placement year before or after your third year, you’ll graduate with a year’s experience in industry too.
