Description:

Gain knowledge of the law, accounting and finance on our exciting joint honours programme. You develop a variety of skills that put you on track for a career in the financial and legal sector. You also have the opportunity to obtain a Qualifying Law Degree

Kent Law School is renowned for its world-leading research and its distinctive ‘critical approach’ that places the law within the wider context of society. Our popular mooting programme gives you the chance to get hands-on experience as you develop advocacy skills in a simulated courtroom setting before a bench comprised of local judges, practising barristers, solicitors and lecturers.

Kent Business School has expert accounting staff from the business world and our links with global businesses ensure that our teaching is always internationally relevant. Our teaching methods are varied; you take part in workshops, individual and team presentations, and use case studies to apply the theory to actual companies.

Our degree programme

In your first year, you are introduced to the English legal system and to some of the foundational principles of accounting, finance, business studies and economics.

In your second year and third year, you engage in more detail with various aspects of private and public law and develop your knowledge in management, accounting and finance.

You analyse judgments and legal developments while taking into account the political, ethical and social dimensions of the law. 

In your third and fourth year of study, you can choose from a wide range of different modules allowing you to develop specialist knowledge on topics such as banking law, international law, consumer law or management accounting. You also have the option to complete a dissertation in law. This provides you with the opportunity to focus in detail on an area you are particularly passionate about.
