The course aims to provide students with a combination of legal and business knowledge, familiarity with relevant institutions and procedures and an understanding of how law and business fits together and operates in comparable jurisdictions. Students will demonstrate progression throughout their course of study and develop the ability to apply knowledge to problem situations and provide solutions to unresolved debates demonstrated over a wide number of issues. The overall aim is that students will be able to act independently in planning and managing tasks with limited guidance in areas which they have studied and will be able to demonstrate proficiency in the use of ICT and engage with blended and technology supported learning. A strong focus will be placed on the 3 key attributes of digital literacy, knowledge and enterprise and a focus on international and global issues.
