Bachelor Of Arts (honours) Accounting & Law in Athlone Institute of Technology

Why take this course?

The accounting and legal professions are increasingly involved in multidisciplinary practices. Accountants need an understanding of the law, while commercial lawyers often operate in accounting and financial environments. The integration of key roles within these functional areas requires the interdisciplinary knowledge and related skills that was previously the domain of two distinct professions.

What opportunities might it lead to?

This course provides a range of skills and knowledge in the key domains of accounting and law. Graduates will have cross-disciplinary knowledge that will enable them to function at a high level in roles that require a knowledge of both the legal and financial professions. In addition, this programme opens up opportunities such as professional or postgraduate studies and level 9 masters courses. (e.g. eligibility for the Master of Arts in Accounting programme at AIT).
