Are these programmes for me?
These degrees combine elements of the BSc Accounting and Finance degree with the LLB (Law) programme. These degrees are for you if you:
- wish to pursue a career in accounting or law (you will need to undertake further study if you wish to qualify as a lawyer or an accountant)
- would like to develop critical skills for a wide range of real world professional situations.
Programme aims
To provide you with a thorough grounding in both accounting and law; the programmes take a broad approach to the subjects rather than focusing on narrow technicalities.
Programme structure
The degree consists of 12 units when taken through the Standard Route and 9 units through the Graduate Entry Route (for the BSc Accounting with Law only; the BSc Law with Accounting cannot be studied via the Graduate Entry Route).
Prestige and career progression
The programme has been developed by academics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), regarded as an international centre of academic excellence and innovation in the social sciences. This degree will prepare you for a career in accounting or law, areas of commerce such as insurance, banking, sales or marketing, or as a Company Secretary.
Structure & Syllabus
You will be required to make a serious attempt in the examination for 12 units on the Standard Route of the degree. On the Graduate Entry Route you must take and pass 9 full units. On the Standard Route you do not have to apply for a specific structure. You will be awarded the appropriate degree depending on the units you choose to take. You can take the Foundation and Further units in any order, provided you satisfy any prerequisites (units which you must have already passed). Prerequisites are shown in italic text in brackets. Most students, however, would normally take the Foundation units first because, as their name suggests, they are the 'building blocks' – the foundation – for the units that follow.
