Law and Business Studies at Warwick
Hey..I've just received an offer from Warwick for Law and Business Studies course...The course sounds very interesting to me....However, I just wonder does anyone here take or got offer from this course? How did you guys find it? Also, is it the same as the pure Law course? And can you become a lawyer or solicitor after you graduate?
Many thanks
Many thanks
Hi,
I got an offer for this course, and will be taking up the place come next year. As far as I can tell there isnt anyone else on TSR who does the course at present, but next year assuming Fankan takes his place and this other dude (cant remember his name NehalK or something like that) there will be four of us! The course isnt the same as the pure Law course.."we" will do the same core modules as the LLB lawyers, those being the ones which give us exemptions from the CPE, but to get these you need to do the four year variant of the course. But that is where the similarities end, this course looks at the overlap between business and the law.
Hope that helps. Im hoping against hope that if this course isnt for me theyll let me change to the LLB..dont know if this is easy or at all possible..and I dont know what your prospects are as a barrister/solicitor upon graduation...doesnt really apply to me though because i have no desire to go into the field.
Anyone else answer the above question??

Hi my potential course mates! =)
From the Warwick website (http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/socialstudies/law/MN11/)
"...A Fourth Year enables students to take a wider variety of options, including a foreign language. In order to obtain part exemption from the qualifying examinations of the solicitors, barristers or accountancy professions, students will be required to complete the four year version of the degree. Thus by choosing appropriate options, students can obtain a Qualifying Law Degree on the four year variant..."
Also, from http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/socialstudies/law/
"Either an LLB or the BA will be useful for future administrators, whether in central or local government or industry, and for business people, as well as future solicitors and barristers ...It is School policy to offer as many of the optional modules listed below as possible each year and to give every student on any of these degrees a chance to obtain exemption from the first part of the English legal professions' examinations. The joint degrees in Law and Business Studies and Law in Sociology give the opportunity to obtain the same exemption."
For the modules, you may visit the homepage of the School of Law:

Hey!
I've received an unconditional offer for the three year LLB degree course, however. I think the Law and Business course sounds really interesting though! I wonder whether the Warwick University Admission Staff would be willing to let me change my degree..any ideas about the chances of this being possible? Law and Business (the 4 yr. variant) would just give so many options.

Hmm..i shouldnt see why not. The fact youve obtained an unconditional offer for the llb which requires AAA grades, means that you are in excess of the minimum entry requirements. so as long as you can express a real interest in business, i really dont think it would be a problem. I think the problem would arise if you wanted to go the other way around as in to Law LLB from Law and Business BA. That said there are only like 35 places on the course...but if you never try youll never know. Congratulations on the offer by the way!
Feeling the need to give life to this 2 week old thread, after a rather nice visit to Warwick for the Law open day... just a quick question as to which modules need to be taken to qualify for Law society exemptions? Anyone know? Cheers.
Yeah, so I went to the webpages of the Law Society of England and Wales, and found the following information:
What are the foundations of legal knowledge?
The foundations of legal knowledge form the academic stage of legal education, and are compulsory for students seeking to enter the vocational stage of training.
The foundation subjects are
* obligations 1 (contract)
* obligations 2 (tort)
* public law (including constitutional law, administrative law and human rights law)
* criminal law
* property law
* equity and the law of trusts
* law of the European Union
You also will be expected to have appropriate expertise in legal research skills and English legal system.
So, I suppose to gain exemption from the CPE one needs to cover these subjects. I suppose the modules correlate to these "foundation subjects".
Just by the way, as I am interested in maybe attempting to change my proposed degree from the three year LLB law degree to the 4 year law and business degree, I wonder if someone could shed some light on whether it is the case that the latter only gives partial excemption from the CPE?!
I can't wait to start at Warwick..I've visited it once this fall and it was great. In addition, I already have friends studying there who like it.
I chose Warwick over Manchester.
What kind of clubs/societies are people thinking of joining?

Basically it gives you full exemptions from the CPE (which is handy!). Just out of curiosity why do you want to do this course?..And being the general bearer of speculative bad news on the open day they said changing course was impossible...dont know if thats what they say every year??? Ive got a place for Law&Bus and im not sure if i want to change to Law LLB....i wonder.
Clubs wise....Football, Rugby, Cricket!!! Maybe LawSoc if im feeling keen.

Summer.Klein,
If you scroll up I believe fankan has given the relevant information. It seems students on the Law + Business Studies course MUST take the fourth-year option in order for the degree to be a qualfying law degree.
If you look in the prospectus it is also explained:
''In order to obtain a qualifying Law Degree, students must take the RELEVANT Qualifying modules in years 2, 3 AND 4."
Hope that helps. Just to clarify I have an offer for the 3 years - LLB straight Law.
In relation to clubs/societies - I am unsure as of yet, all I know is I will be swimming every day. (I hope)
-Michael.
