About the course

Law with options in Accountancy at Aberdeen gives you all the benefits of our trademark quality at Aberdeen Law School – ranked 2nd in the UK for Overall Student Satisfaction – with the added advantage of skills in finance and accountancy, widening your already-bright career prospects still further.

　　Law at Aberdeen looks at the historical, social, political and economic forces that influence our legal systems and govern our societies. You will learn to think like a lawyer rather than just 'learn' law. A major factor in our quality is the calibre and enthusiasm of our staff, testing your mental agility with complex, realistic legal scenarios as you get to grips with criminal, public and private law, legal systems, contracts, human rights and explore family law, the law of property and legal aspects of the EU.

　　You will also add courses in finance, risk and investment, financial markets and regulation, alongside accounting and entrepreneurship – giving you useful specialist knowledge of the law as it applies to the business world. You will have many opportunities to hone your developing legal skills in student-led initiatives such as mock legal debating, our highly active Law Society, the students’ journal in which your work may be published and our community law clinic – the Aberdeen Law Project.

　　Should you choose to practice law, you will have a wide variety of career options within the legal professions. However, more than a third of Aberdeen law graduates now choose to use their law degree as a passport for entry into a wide range of careers including business, finance and banking for which you'll be a great candidate, also media, , teaching, governmental bodies and departments and the police force.
