Economics and Law

Description

The increasing complexity of the global economy and the continued development of exploitative property rights has increased the demands for graduates grounded in both the principles of Economics and of Law.
Economics and Law are closely linked, bringing their particular approaches to the same fundamental issues that confront people and organisations in their daily activities. Legal professionals increasingly refer to Economists for advice, in particular over issues pertaining to contract analysis, intellectual property rights and the assessment of damages, for example.
Our BA (Hons) Economics and Law programme combines the essential analytical rigour and quantitative skills of Economics training with a vocational orientation in the study of Law producing graduates who can critically analyse problems from both perspectives.
You will develop an understanding of the scope of contemporary economic phenomena and problems and be conversant with the general principles and operations of Law and Legal Systems. In addition, a full range of graduate personal transferable skill are developed enabling you to succeed in your chosen career.
