On our four-year course with a placement year, you’ll get the chance to gain a whole 12 months of real-life, hands-on experience in industry before you graduate. We offer industry-standard facilities like our Bloomberg Financial Markets Laboratory, and our newly enhanced Business Lounge is a great space to meet with businesses, entrepreneurs and future partners.

Alongside your studies, you’ll get the opportunity to enhance your CV: by studying for a CIMA qualification, registering for the ACCA Future Talent Academy (an employability platform full of useful content, activities and advice), and by accessing our Centre for Professional Success (a source of relevant placements and employer projects). Most accounting students become Chartered Accountants, but it’s not the only option. Recent graduates have found work with companies including Citibank, Lloyds Banking Group, Fujitsu, Jaguar Land Rover, Smith & Nephew, the Civil Service, and the Big Four: Ernst & Young, Deloitte, PwC and KPMG.
