Law with Marketing Bachelor of Law (with Honours) - LLB (Hons)

Do you want to study a Law degree but are also interested in how businesses promote and sell their products and services? The LLB (Hons) Law with Marketing degree could be for you. 

At all stages of the programme, students are required to use technology effectively in the research, preparation and submission of assessments. The university library gives access to a wide range of physical and digital resources for the study of both Law and Marketing. In addition, digital copies of textbooks for Law are available electronically through the OUP Law Trove portal. This allows lecturers to set readings across a wider range of student texts from introductory to more advanced, whilst also reducing the financial burden on students who may choose not to buy print copies.   

The programme draws on the programme structure of the standard LLB degree offered by the University of Staffordshire and is constructed from existing modules taught on the Law and Marketing degree courses. The traditional ‘foundations of legal knowledge’ modules have been retained at the core stages despite the deregulation of Law degrees. The relevant subjects are Constitutional Law, Contract Law, Tort Law (all taught at Level 4); Administrative Law, Property Law, EU Law, Law of Equity and Trusts, and Criminal Law (all taught at Level 5). By retaining these modules, the courses provide a solid basis for each student’s personalised choices at level 6 and also permit students to proceed confidently to the SQE, Bar Practice Course, or higher stages of the CILEX professional framework if they choose.

At both level 4 and level 5, students study 90 credits in core Law modules and one 30 credit module in Marketing. The Marketing modules have been carefully chosen to ensure that they are accessible to Law students and do not require the study of any other Marketing or Business modules as prerequisites. The Marketing modules focus on marketing strategy in the context of wider global issues, including sustainable consumption. The element of ethical studies in Marketing complements the study of Law and justice in a range of social contexts.   

Level 6 combines 60 credits of options in Law - across a wide range of subjects tailored to students’ professional and academic interests – with 60 credits of core modules in marketing. Students can opt to study modules which complement skills and knowledge acquired in both disciplines; for example, the marketing cores would combine effectively with the study of Company Law, for students to gain a variety of different perspectives on the constraints within which business organisations operate.   

Possible graduate career opportunities for students who have studied this course include not only Law but also market research analyst, public relations, regulation and compliance. Note that postgraduate study and further qualifications may be required for some of these graduate roles. 

On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: *LLB (Hons) Law with Marketing*
