About the course

This double degree combines economics and law to build a complementary skill set for understanding how markets operate and how legal rules shape behaviour. You can tailor your studies across both disciplines, linking areas such as international economics and corporate law. Designed as an integrated pathway, it lets you graduate with two qualifications in less time than completing two separate degrees. This is an undergraduate double degree in economics and law. The programme introduces business strategy, finance, marketing, and leadership foundations for commercial organisations.

Career outcome

Graduates can pursue careers across legal practice, corporate and commercial settings, and government or policy roles where economic and legal analysis intersect. The combination supports work in regulatory and compliance areas, business advisory, public sector policy, competition and market regulation, and roles requiring strong analytical and communication skills. Career pathways may include law-related roles alongside economics and policy positions. This is an undergraduate double degree preparing for careers in law and economics.
