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.

You will have an opportunity to study subjects connected to your specific interests during the final year.
