Course Summary
Aberystwyth University’s BA in Law with Business and Management is a great way to prepare for a business career in any industry with a substantial regulatory framework, or on in which you’ll be interacting with lawyers and solicitors on a regular basis.
The Law curriculum will see you getting a solid grounding in Public Law, European Law, and UK law in regards to Criminal, Contract and Tort issues. At more advanced levels you’ll look at the finer points of Land Law, the Law of Equity and the features and limitations of Trusts.
On the Business and Management side you’ll learn the basics at first, and then expand your scope to include organisational behaviour, the way different firms serve the needs of their markets and ways to set (and follow) good business strategy. You’ll also explore leadership on the corporate level as well as the demands of social responsibility.
