Business Management and Law BA (Hons)

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

Business management is fast-paced and ever-changing. Organisations face major shifts and complex challenges both in the UK and worldwide. Students entering this field must understand the business environment and how organisations function in uncertain situations. The Business Management degree at Liverpool Hope University examines small to medium-sized enterprises as well as global multinational companies—public, private, and not-for-profit. It focuses on business principles, organisational dynamics, and management processes.

Liverpool Hope Business School, holder of the prestigious AACSB accreditation, has a strong reputation for delivering a high-quality business management course that shapes students with solid theoretical knowledge. Students gain a thorough understanding of modern business practices, supported by the latest research. Our connections with local and national businesses, alongside professional bodies, ensure you are well-prepared for the job market.

This comprehensive business management degree lets you explore how businesses operate and their ethical and social impacts on communities. A dedicated, student-focused team will help you understand this context while building the critical and transferable skills employers seek.

A standout feature of our Business Management programme is the YE (Young Enterprise) initiative for all second-year students. This innovative project ties together the entire curriculum. Each student joins a business start-up team, where they collaboratively establish and run a new legal business. This hands-on experience of starting a “real-life” business is often cited by students as their favourite and most valuable part of the degree.

LAW

Law shapes our society and influences every aspect of our lives. It defines our obligations and legal requirements, serves to regulate and define relationships and provides a means of redress when problems arise. To study Law is not only to study a challenging subject, but also to study the rules, principles and policies that underpin society. This degree gives you a theoretical and philosophical grounding in Law, as well as the ability to engage in its practical study and application.

Study Law with us and you will gain an understanding of the fundamental principles, theories and key ideas that underpin the law in England and Wales. You also learn about the way Public Law provides the legal framework within which government and administration functions, the structure of Law and Government under which we live, and the values of democracy, rule of law and constitutionalism that underpin that structure.

We aim to produce graduates who do not merely know or know how to, but understand why things are as they are and how they could be different. It is about gaining a deep approach to the subject, in which you try to relate ideas in one subject to those in others, to understand what you read, questioning material, making links and pursuing lines of inquiry out of interest.

The LLB degree and Joint degrees can be taken over 3 or 4 years. If taken over 4 years, the third year would be spent in an appropriate legal work experience setting in light of the requirements set down to undertake the Solicitors Qualify Exams.
