About this course
LLB (Hons) in Law and Accountancy, a law and accounting and finance degree centred on the study of legal principles alongside financial practice. Core topics include Accounting, Legal Analysis, and Critical & Analytical Thinking. Spanning four years, the course draws modules from both the Law School and the Business School while enabling students to pursue exemptions from professional accounting bodies. The first year covers the foundations through Scottish Legal System, Public Law of the UK and Scotland, Contract Law, and Family Law, introducing basic accounting principles and financial statements. Year 2 advances the curriculum with Business Entities, Commercial Law, and Delict. Year 3 builds further expertise with International Law, Property Law, Advanced Financial Accounting, Auditing, and Management Accounting Applications, exploring complex financial reporting and audit techniques.
