Overview
Make your mark on the business world by combining management skills with legal knowledge.
See yourself working in management? But also have an interest in law? Join us to explore how law functions in the modern business world. These two areas are constantly evolving meaning it’s always a great combination of subjects to study.
London is a business hub and a centre for legal expertise and innovation. We also partner with multinational companies to bring you the latest industry insights. In the past, we’ve worked with Microsoft, PwC and Facebook.
You’ll study modules from the School of Business and Management and the School of Law. We’ve designed the course to include cutting-edge business topics like managing diversity, social network analysis and social responsibility. At the same time, you’ll look at legal areas like intellectual property and contract law.
Make your mark
We’re making a real difference to society, nationally and globally. Our recent research has increased gender and ethnic diversity on UK corporate boards. Many of our academics have worked in industry prior to academia too, so they’ll share their experience with you.
Compliance, corporate governance, and business development are just a few areas where your legal knowledge will be invaluable. You’ll leave Queen Mary ready to make an impact in today’s ever-changing business landscape.
