Economics and Accounting are complementary, both in terms of knowledge and the wider-ranging skills they help develop, such as IT and data interpretation (for example, corporate and public sector accounts). Studying this combined programme will help you understand the economic incentives that shape and reconcile the important decisions made by individuals, businesses, governments and societies. Accountancy is the fastest-growing area of business activity. The ability to measure financial information and make projections affects economic and organisational decision-making at all levels.Financial accountants report on the performance of an organisation, and management accountants provide financial information to help with planning and strategy.This combined programme is suitable if you are planning to take accountancy qualifications after graduation.
