* Please note that TOEFL is still acceptable for admission to this programme for both home/EU and international students.
For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use TOEFL to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level courses. We therefore still accept TOEFL tests taken in the last two years for admission to this programme.
Accountancy is the process by which financial information about a business is recorded, classified, summarised, interpreted and communicated.
A major benefit is our use of guest speakers. These professionals will offer you the opportunity to discuss issues and learn from their experience. This is possible due to the high reputation our degree enjoys among the accountancy profession.
