Sound financial knowledge and accountancy skills are needed so businesses can make the right decisions, develop the right strategies and achieve growth, while also considering issues of ethics and sustainability. Many management roles require an understanding of budgeting and financial administration, to ensure the business remains on track and meets its targets. The January start for this course is condensed in Year 1

Why you should study this course

By studying this course, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Tailor your study to your chosen career path
    This course allows you to broaden your knowledge and skills or focus on specialisation as you see fit. You will first study a wide range of subjects laying a solid foundation for a career in accounting, finance or financial management. In the final year, you will have the opportunity to select from a range of optional modules to focus on a particular area of interest.
  • Prepare for professional qualifications2
    Our degree is closely aligned to the syllabi of professional accountancy bodies including the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).
  • Put your skills to the test
    Prepare and analyse financial statements, as well as studying the impact of finance on real businesses through case studies of a diverse range of organisations.
  • Develop practical skills in our Bloomberg Trading Floor4
    Develop your skills in our Trading Floor4, which is currently one of the largest academic trading floors in Europe, featuring contemporary Bloomberg terminals.
  • Benefit from real-world exposure
    Prepare for a future career in accounting and finance with a work placement2. Past students have undertaken placements with L'Oreal, Vauxhall Motors, and Digitus Accountancy Limited.

If you choose to start this course in January you will study exactly the same course but over a slightly shorter timescale in Year 1. This is ideal if you missed the September start, want to transfer from a different university or course or just need a bit more time to prepare for life at university.

Sandwich study option is also available (4 years).
