Course summary

Accounting is the ideal choice if you have an analytical mind and like solving problems – contrary to popular opinion, you don’t have to be a maths expert to study accounting - communication in both written and verbal form is just as important as crunching numbers. Accountants are trusted business advisors and work in many areas of business. This single honours degree will immerse you in the study of accounting and business from day one. Offering maximum professional accreditation from some ICAEW, ACCA and CIMA examinations, on successful completion you can graduate as a partly exam-qualified accountant, with only work experience and a few final exams to complete to be fully-qualified (subject to optional module choices and to achieving specific grades in certain papers).The degree has six subject pillars and one theme:Financial accountingManagement accountingTechnologyAudit and assuranceTaxationResearch in accountingEmployability themeThe subject pillars build throughout the degree so that you can identify links between modules. The employability theme helps you to understand the connection between work done and employability skills gained.Employability is woven into every aspect of the course, from modules developed in consultation with accounting bodies and leading employers to the placement year, which is a valuable opportunity to gain first-hand industry experience and start building a network of business contacts. If the placement route isn’t right for you, we also offer the option to complete the course in three years or take a year abroad.The degree has been designed for maximum professional exemptions which means the first two years are made up of core modules. You will have an opportunity to study subjects connected to your specific interests during the final year. You will also complete an independent piece of research in an area related to your work experience or an area of special interest.The BSc in Accounting combines academic excellence, insightful research and exceptional global business connections. On completion, you will be equipped with the skills to become an innovative business thinker in and beyond your career.
