BSc Accounting with Law/Law with Accounting

Structure and 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.

  With Law

  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.

  If you are planning to become a lawyer, we advise you to contact the legal professional body in the jurisdiction where you hope to practise – before committing yourself to a particular plan of study – to find out if your degree will satisfy their entry requirements to the legal profession.
