The double degree of Business and Law combines business strategy and legal frameworks, a solid foundation to lead in corporate and startup environments. A highly complementary skill set that opens doors to a wide range of careers such as finance analyst, sport or entertainment law, business development manager, policy advisor, real estate lawyer, human resource manager or corporate lawyer.
You can study what interests you – combine subjects like accounting and international trade law, finance and property law, or media and communications and media law.
A double degree is a structured program that allows you to study two separate disciplines simultaneously, earning two qualifications upon graduation. Rather than completing two separate degrees, a double degree is designed to reduce the overall study time.

A double degree lets you explore two fields. - Increased Job Security
