Will the Bachelor in Law with Business and Management (LLB) qualify me as a solicitor?

Becoming a solicitor in England and Wales requires further steps such as the SQE and qualifying work experience. The LLB is an essential academic foundation but is not, by itself, a licence to practise. Other jurisdictions have their own routes — check local rules.

How is this different from a straight LLB?

A straight LLB focuses exclusively on legal study. This degree retains the core LLB subjects but adds business and management modules, making it strong preparation for corporate, in-house or compliance-track careers.

Can I follow the SQE route after this degree?

Yes — many graduates do. The SQE itself is a separate assessment route, with its own preparation courses and fees. Discuss progression with admissions if SQE preparation is your goal.

Is the Bachelor in Law with Business and Management (LLB) available online?

Yes. The degree is delivered on-campus, online and via distance learning, with online study popular among working learners and international students.

Three years full-time, with extended timelines for part-time or distance routes. Confirm specifics at enrolment.

How much does the programme cost?

Fees vary by mode, intake and student status. Contact HICL admissions for the current schedule.

Bachelor in Law with Business and Management (LLB) at HICL

Most law graduates work in environments where the legal question is intertwined with a commercial decision. Contracts are negotiated alongside pricing. Compliance frameworks are designed alongside operational realities. The Bachelor in Law with Business and Management (LLB) at HICL is built for students who already see the world that way and want a degree that takes both sides seriously.

This is an honours-level undergraduate degree that combines core legal study — the foundations expected of an LLB — with business and management subjects strong enough to support a corporate, in-house or commercial-management career. It is a serious commitment over three years and asks for the same intellectual discipline as any LLB.

The shape of the Bachelor in Law with Business and Management (LLB)

On the legal side, expect engagement with contract, tort, criminal law, public law including constitutional and administrative principles, equity and trusts, EU and human-rights context where relevant, and property and land law to the depth expected at LLB level. On the business and management side, expect strategic management, business finance, organisational behaviour, marketing, business ethics and a final-year strand that lets you align with corporate, compliance or entrepreneurship-oriented careers.

Who the Bachelor in Law with Business and Management (LLB) suits

School leavers planning a corporate or in-house legal career, who want commercial literacy alongside legal training.
International students aiming at compliance, corporate governance or legal-business management careers in their home market.
Career changers from business or finance backgrounds who want a full, recognised LLB without losing their commercial grounding.
Future entrepreneurs and founders who want to understand the legal framework they will operate inside.

Career direction

The LLB is a recognised qualifying law degree style of programme in academic terms, but qualification to practise as a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales requires further steps such as the SQE or the Bar route. Many graduates of the Bachelor in Law with Business and Management (LLB) pursue those routes; others go straight into legal-adjacent roles — compliance, contract management, corporate governance, paralegal and trainee solicitor schemes, in-house legal teams, and business roles where legal literacy is a serious advantage. For students from other jurisdictions, conversion or further study may be needed before practising domestically.
