    Course Summary

    Northumbria University’s LLB in Law with International Business is a great way to gain both an in-depth education as a legal specialist and gain a deeper understanding of the economics, practices and everyday reality of operating a business on a global scale.

    You’ll lean the core legal curriculum required for a qualifying legal degree – the so called ‘7 foundations of legal knowledge’ – as well as gaining access to a wide range of business-oriented elective modules. These will let you build a specialised expertise which aligns with your ultimate career goals as well as your personal interests.

    You will also have the option of taking either work placement or study abroad in year 3. Both options can be very beneficial. Work placement will give you the real world professional experience you’ll need to compete with other job applicants. Alternatively, study abroad gives you a truly international perspective that will prove invaluable.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
