    Course Summary

    Leeds Beckett University’s BA degree in Accounting and Finance is delivered in the heart of one of the North’s great financial capitols. It ensures that students gain insight into the processes of accounting and finance, as well as a deep understanding of how these processes affect or even define modern businesses.

    You’ll learn everything you would expect from an internationally recognised Accounting and Finance course. You’ll begin with basic content, but in years two and three will have the option of selecting modules which will let you build your own specialty. For example, you could prepare yourself to pursue professional status as an accountant or to thrive in banking or a more general business environment.

    The degree program includes an optional year in paid working placement. This will be an excellent chance to learn real world accounting and finance skills whilst many other students are still in class. It typically increases your employability dramatically.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. 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. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. 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.
