    You’ll learn both the principles of Business Management and Accounting. On the BM side you’ll learn the basic concepts and vocabulary of the business world but also the research methods, modelling techniques and strategic thinking skills you’ll need to manage organisations, people and resources in the real world. On the Accounting side, you’ll learn to interpret and analyse financial data on a critical level and to make financial decisions within a regulatory framework.

    DMU is a Gold Status Learning Partner with ACCA and this degree program in particular is accredited by CIMA. What that means for you is that you’ll be exempted from several professional examinations and your accomplishments will be appreciated by a wide range of employers.

Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market.

By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
