From someone who has spent time working in the legal industry in the city, I can confirm that straight law is much more prestigious than the law and business option. Even if you are thinking about pursuing a career in corp/commercial law, employers would prefer the single honours LLB option at Streatham. The reason for this is that the Streatham LLB option gives students a more rounded and intense view of different areas of law - you could say these are perceived as being slightly more difficult compared to the business options at Penryn. You are not expected to specialise in one area until after you've completed the training contract stage anyway. If you want to understand why the law and business option is less prestigious then just look at the course content of the modules offered in the law and business course. There are a lot of 'soft' courses such as Social Enterprise Management, Workplace Wellbeing and Digital Technologies and the Future of Work. These are the types of courses that you would find in an easier business studies degree. Also remember, you can still do corporate and commercial law as options in the Streatham LLB.
