Undergraduate
BSc Accounting with Law/Law with Accounting
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.
Flexible study
at a reasonable cost
You have between
3-8 years to complete the programme (or a minimum of 2 years
on the Graduate Entry Route). The total fee payable to the University
is around £3,000 if you complete in the minimum study period.
The Graduate Entry Route costs just over £2,300 if you complete
in 2 years.
Study materials

Regulations
You need to provide
your own textbooks - they provide the main focus of your studies
- so before you register for the programme the University will
advise you to consider the facilities available to you locally,
and how accessible books are likely to be.
Study support
and online resources
You can either
study independently at a pace that suits you, or enrol for additional
classes at a local institution (either full time or part time)
and benefit from the more formalized support this provides.
-
LSE arranges
a Study weekend in February each year.
This consists of short courses designed to help you with
examination preparation and technique. You will also have
the opportunity to discuss your studies with subject specialists.

LSE also
runs a Summer School each year, usually
from July to mid-August, to which all students are welcome.

If you do
not have traditional 'A' levels or their equivalent, the
Access route has been
designed to provide you with an entry route to the degrees
in the fields of Economics, Management, Finance and the
Social Sciences. The Diploma in Economics, a qualification
in its own right, similarly provides an entry route to these
degrees (please note that for the Diploma in Economics attendance
at an institution that has been given 'permission to teach'
by the LSE is compulsory).
