About the course

The BSc Hons Accounting and Law produces highly qualified professional graduates, equipped with both legal and financial knowledge.  It is a four-year programme with an equal weighting of accounting and law-based modules taught each year.  This degree provides you with the opportunity to maximise professional exemptions from many of the professional accounting bodies AND also gain a qualifying law degree.  This combination provides significant opportunities upon graduation. Employers value the mix of legal and professional services knowledge supported by economic and financial analytical skills. Both subjects complement one another with a cross-over in these two sought after professions for aspects of commerce, including acquisition and disposals, restructuring and insolvency, taxation compliance and planning, assurance and governance.  Throughout your studies, you will develop an understanding of the law, critically reflect on contemporary law developments whilst at the same time assimilating and putting into practice the main principles and theories of accounting and finance.

　　The overall aim of the degree is to: develop students’ core knowledge and understanding of the principles, issues and applications of accounting and law and of the broader financial and economic environment, enable the development of intellectual skills including critical, analytical and problem-solving skills relevant to law, business finance and investment decision-making, highlight the relevance of legal knowledge to the needs of the community whether at a local, regional, national, European or international level, support the development of a range of subject-specific and generic transferable skills, develop students' ability to analyse, interpret and communicate legal and financial information, and develop students' interpersonal, research, computing and communication skills.
