Business and Law
Hone your knowledge of business while developing expertise in law that supports practical business management.
As a Business and Law student at ARU London, you’ll gain a real understanding of how legal considerations impact virtually every aspect of management activity.
It’s an intellectually stimulating degree course that addresses broader aspects of the business organisation and management culture, while also providing an insight into corporate and consumer legislation, corporate regulation and other legal aspects of business enterprise.
Employers look for business graduates with knowledge and awareness of current issues. This course will teach you about globalisation, sustainability and social change – allowing you to fully understand the factors that affect businesses today.
When you graduate, you’ll have a sound appreciation of management practice – including human resources, marketing, business law and information management – as well as the skills to analyse strategic consumer behaviour.
Careers
The skills you gain from our BSc (Hons) Business and Law degree can open career opportunities for you in many professions, including banking, commerce, local and central government, and teaching.
During your studies, there will be the opportunity to participate in the Employability Scheme with the specific objective of enhancing your future employment prospects. This includes CV workshops, interview techniques, career counselling and visits from prospective employers.
Teaching and modules
Understand business structure and organisational purpose, corporate governance and ethics, and how they affect organisations internally and externally.
Learn models of behaviour of the three economic agents then use these models to analyse the outcomes when the three agents interact in the marketplace. Examine how economists analyse the overall economy and understand economic concepts, accounting principles and mathematics through problem-solving and practical application.
Look at the UK legal system and sources of law and study the law as it applies to business and commercial transactions, including international trade.
Anyone aiming to work in international business should have an understanding of the HR function, so we’ll explore the role HR management plays in the strategic planning and development of domestic and multinational organisations.
