Course Description:

The integrated Bachelor of Economics and Bachelor of Law (BEc-LL.B) Programme is the second undergraduate programme being offered by Kathmandu University School of Law (KUSOL).

The legal component gives the same focus and strength in B.Ec-LL.B that has been given in the BBM-LL.B programme. It meets all requirements of the professional undergraduate degree or Legum Baccalaureus. The students will be trained for taking the bar exam and proving analytical ability in advising or representing clients in the court system as a lawyer. It will meet all the prerequisites necessary for a general legal practitioner. They will also be equipped for many other rewarding career opportunities. In the legal profession, the BEc-LL.B degree holders can become law officers, in-house advisers, legal consultants, or court officers. Graduates may consider working in public administration, real estate management, corporate business, taxation or consultancy services.

As an integrated course, the BEc-LL.B programme aims at creating a band of modern lawyers who are knowledgeable and skilled in the basics of economics as well. Law and economics as a single subject area is the economic analysis of law and its outcomes that sharpens skills of a lawyer. The study of economics as part of the legal education helps the law students to benefit from the understanding of production, consumption, and transfer of wealth while working in the private or public sector.

Opportunities for students
As this course is being launched in Nepal for the first time, our graduates will be the first people with these learning outcomes to take on the practice or job opportunities in Nepal. This gives the course a strong feasibility.   

Through the integrated study of economics and law, the School of Law at Kathmandu University hopes to begin training future legal practitioners who are able to provide legal expertise in matters relating to the economics of Nepal, including the financial and development sectors. The demand for such lawyers will surely only increase as Nepal moves forward with many initiatives towards economic prosperity by means of public policy and the law.
