The programme involves two core interdisciplinary modules focusing on Law and Economics. These modules are complemented with modules in law, theoretical and applied economics to provide you with the necessary tools to analyse various legal frameworks that shape markets. You will select from taught modules from both law and economics, enabling you to focus on your interest and gear your qualification toward your desired career trajectory. You will select these modules during a comprehensive induction period where the teaching staff will provide you with an overview of their content.

If you want to review or gain a broad understanding of financial and legal concepts such as statistical distributions and matrix algebra, you have the option to attend pre-sessional modules and have access to basic statistics and statistical software.

You will also have voluntary access to an excellent series of lectures in Critical Thinking and Writing in Law to help you improve your writing and research in law skills.
