Overview

Become an accountant with an Accounting and Finance degree from Canterbury Christ Church University. A degree in Accounting and Finance will not only equip you with the essential skills needed for you to pursue you career in finance, accountancy, and beyond, but you’ll be a part of the Christ Church Business School, gaining you access to strong links with industry.

Take advantage of an innovative and enriching curriculum, including topics that give you an introduction to accounting and finance, economics, and people management. This Accounting and Finance degree offers plenty of opportunity for you to network with professionals, gain work experience, and engage with various sectors. What’s more, you’ll be able to apply for exemptions from major accounting bodies, including the ACCA, ICAEW, CIMA, and IFA.

Not only will you develop the critical thinking and analytical skills needed to thrive in your career, you can choose to spend a year in a professional work placement. Studying accounting and finance at university will allow you to gain a broader understanding of the business world, increasing your employability upon graduation.

On this degree, you can also have the opportunity test your skills in a real business environment in our Bloomberg Trading Room and graduate with a Bloomberg Certification in Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) on your CV. Accredited by Small Business Charter

How you’ll be assessed

The course provides you with opportunities to test your understanding of the subject informally before completing the formal assessments that count towards your final mark. Each module typically contains at least one piece of practice or 'formative' assessment for which you receive feedback from your tutor. Practice assessments are developmental, and any grades you receive for them do not count towards your module mark.

There is a formal or 'summative' assessment at the end of each module. Assessment methods include written examinations and a range of coursework assessments such as essays, reports, portfolios, performance, presentations and your final year major project. The grades from formal assessments count towards your module mark.

To progress from one level of study to the next, you must pass 120 credits (typically six 20 credit modules). The standard pass mark for a module is 40%.

Your future career

Many graduates go on to study accounting at a professional level. However, this exceptionally versatile degree can open doors to a variety of roles in business. Excellent mentoring by our experienced team will guide and prepare you for your first business or professional accountancy role.

This degree is also a gateway to further study at the Master’s level in a range of areas such as banking, financial services, and accounting. You'll develop a range of transferable business skills including communication, IT, research and team working, which are essential for any career in any organisation.
