The BBM-LL.B. is a special integrated 5-year law course that aims at creating a band of modern lawyers who are knowledgeable and skilled to meet the current requirements of the law profession. This degree qualifies the graduates to apply for membership of the bar to practice law in Nepal. It meets all requirements of the professional undergraduate law degree or Legum Baccalaureus with additional exposure to management that creates an added advantage for them to work as lawyers in the corporate sector and public enterprises.

Study of this course will enable the law students to develop a competitive edge in the business sector, including the practice of business law in law courts and quasi-judicial tribunals. The recent changes in the Nepalese economy and global economic scenario have necessitated a strong demand for youngsters with knowledge of law coupled with core essentials of management and business to enhance productivity.

In modern Nepal, there is hardly a field of management without legal relevance. This integrated degree has been designed against this backdrop. Unlike traditional law degrees, this program offers a unique combination of business and legal content. It equips students with management skills and comprehensive knowledge of business law, thus enabling them to assess and solve complex issues from a variety of different perspectives. The program places a particular focus on valuable legal and management skills, alongside teaching corporate accounting, finance, strategic management, personnel management, marketing, and corporate and business laws.

BBM-LL.B offers you the opportunity to study the foundations of law alongside compulsory modules in business administration.

You learn and think about the operation, scope, and role of law within society—understanding the way the law shapes and is shaped by morality, public perception, politics, and day-to-day events. You study the social impact of law, and develop your academic and professional skills in a supportive and intellectually rewarding environment.

By studying business administration, you gain the skills and knowledge essential for managing key areas of corporate bodies or organisations. You develop an understanding of the role and interrelationship between strategic management, human resource management, and operations management. You appreciate the challenges facing managers from both operational and strategic perspectives and are sensitive to the need for mainstreaming business ethics and corporate social responsibility into management policy and practice.

KUSOL is committed to an approach that enables you to think critically about law within the broader context of society, considering its role and impact, and the potential it has to change the society we live in.
