This innovative course enables students to compete in the current employment market by providing a combination of financial, legal and organisational skills. It is designed for students requiring a degree combining the disciplines of law and accountancy. The course provides generous exemptions from either the academic stage of training for the Law Society and Bar Council or the Foundation level examinations for the major professional accountancy bodies. This modular course has been developed to give students greater choice and flexibility for applicants wishing to pursue a career in law, accountancy or taxation, but who wish to obtain more than a 'pure' law degree or accountancy degree. Graduates would be well placed to pursue careers in insolvency, taxation, forensic accounting and government departments where the combined skills of the accountant and lawyer would be invaluable.
Students choosing either route also choose from a wide range of accountancy, law and other options.
Tuition is by a combination of lectures, tutorials, workshops and student-led seminars. Formal assessment procedures vary according to the options chosen and include case studies, presentations, coursework and examinations. A GCSE grade C or above in Mathematics and English or equivalent is required.
