Welcome to BA (Hons) Accountancy and Finance
Accountants play an integral role in the business world, providing the financial information needed to inform decisions at all levels of an organisation.
Blending the fundamental elements of accountancy and finance, this course can open up a world of exciting careers in finance and business around the globe. It allows students to target jobs in fast-moving industries that make the modern world work.
The course offers the opportunity for exemptions from elements of examination for a number of professional accountancy bodies. Students can develop the practical and theoretical skills in the nature and mechanics of financial information.
How You Study
Throughout their studies students can develop the critical thinking skills, knowledge, and problem-solving abilities essential to senior leaders and decision-makers.
The first year of the programme focuses on developing a solid knowledge of accountancy and finance, as well as introducing key elements of business, economics, and marketing. In the second year students are able to explore financial accountancy, management accountancy, financial management, and international economics, and develop key skills in SAGE accounting.
In the final year, students have the opportunity to examine financial accountancy, financial management, and management accountancy at an advanced level. They can tailor their degree by selecting from a range of options aligned to their individual interests and career ambitions.
Optional final-year modules can include Taxation; Personal Financial Planning; Financial Strategy; Private Banking and Wealth Management; and Behavioural Finance and Economics.
The opportunity to take a year-long work placement after the second year is open to all full-time students on this course. Those who opt to do this will not pay tuition fees for that year but will be required to cover their own travel, accommodation, and general living costs. Students are expected to source their own placement, but tutors can provide support during the process if required.
Each module is delivered through both lectures and seminars. The seminars will consist of either in-class activities or workshops.
