Introduction
LLB Law with Business
Lawyers can best assist commercial clients if they’ve got a sound knowledge of business practice. Equally, businesses can benefit from a good understanding of the legal system. Our LLB Business with Law allows you to gain a crucial awareness of the law within its social and business contexts, and enables you to develop the critical, reflective and analytical skills required to succeed within the complementary disciplines of law and business.
Studying this combination of subjects will benefit anyone looking to enter the business world. The knowledge and skills which you develop throughout the course provide a thorough grounding in essential areas of the law and business, and will be greatly valued by employers. You explore topics including:
- Contract law
- Company law
- Equity and trusts
- Management and marketing
- The international business environment
In the School of Law at Essex, we specialise in commercial law, public law, and human rights law. We are 3rd in the UK for research power in law (THE research power measure, REF2021).

Career Opportunities
At Essex we don’t just prepare you for the legal profession. We stimulate your desire to pursue justice and equip you with the skills and knowledge to become an agent for change, whatever career path you choose.
From the start of your course, we challenge you to think deeply, broadly and strategically about career paths. Over the first two years, alongside law subjects, you will take a career management module designed to help you identify personal strengths and goals, understand what employers are looking for and enhance your employability profile.
We also hold an annual law fair, attended by law firms and vocational qualification providers. Our graduates pursue careers in the law and in a wide range of other sectors including business and commerce, accountancy, insurance, banking, central and local government, academia, teaching, social work and the police force.
Our mantra is: be realistically ambitious. This involves understanding yourself and the rapidly changing and increasingly competitive graduate jobs market. Throughout your time at Essex, advisors in our Student Development Team working closely with colleagues in the School of Law, are available to help you formulate your career plan.
