I’m applying for University in September this year, and have been looking at courses such as Business Studies and Business Economics. I am quite interested in studying Business Law, however there are not many of these degrees around.
Just wondering if a ‘Law and Business’ degree, for example at Warwick, is a traditional law degree with business as well, or will the law be based on business, not general law?
Any advice much appreciated

You can do your undergrad in business, and then go to law school.

Business law isn’t really a major in undergrad because it only provides rudimentary background needed for business majors. Focus is on business entities, taxation, and corporate issues. Accountants will sometimes take a masters in taxation, which has a lot of legal mumbo jumbo in it. However, to practice law (or to simply learn law in depth) you must attend law school first, a graduate program.
