As a Business and Law student at ARU London, you’ll gain a real understanding of how legal considerations impact virtually every aspect of management activity.
It’s an intellectually stimulating degree course that addresses broader aspects of the business organisation and management culture, while also providing an insight into corporate and consumer legislation, corporate regulation and other legal aspects of business enterprise.
