Aston Business School
has announced a brand new LLB Law with Management Degree. The course
has recently been validated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and
the Bar Standards Board, which means that graduates can proceed
directly to the legal practice course for solicitors or the bar
vocational course for barristers.
The LLB Law with Management is a 4 year course and includes a compulsory 12 month work placement in year 3.
Professor Jill Poole is Head of Law and Associate Dean at Aston
Business School. She said “The introduction of this degree has been
planned for some time and is a natural progression for the business
school. Successful commercial lawyers need to understand the needs of
business as well as the law and we believe that our graduates will have
a genuine commercial advantage. It is particularly attractive for
anyone wanting to specialise in commercial law.”
Aston Business School has an excellent reputation for work
placements, with students taking roles in high profile UK and overseas
businesses.
Professor Poole added “A year of real-world commercial experience
will set these graduates apart in the market place and should have a
big influence on their future employability.”
Putting the new course in place has taken almost two years research
and planning and has required the permission of the Privy Council
because the LLB is a new type of degree for the University. The course
will be delivered by an experienced team and has already attracted a
great deal of attention, with many enquiries from overseas. There have
been more than 300 expressions of interest in the 30 available places.
