This course equips you with the knowledge, skills, and insights needed to successfully pursue careers in accountancy and other roles across the financial sector. This ACCA, CIMA and ICAEW accredited degree will give you a solid grounding in the theories and practices of finance and accounting and a clear understanding of the regulatory and social frameworks in which these disciplines operate. In the first two years you’ll explore core subjects such as financial markets, financial accounting and reporting, management accounting and corporate finance and investment. You’ll also study econometrics, develop sought-after skills in data modelling and get training in analytical packages widely used by business and financial institutions such as R, STATA, SAS, EViews, Bloomberg and Reuters. In your final year, you can tailor your course to specialist areas including auditing, taxation, financial engineering and behavioural finance. We offer two study options. You can choose three years full-time or four years full-time with a one-year professional placement between years two and three that'll give you hands-on experience in a real-life working environment. As this finance and accounting degree is accredited by the ACCA, CIMA and ICAEW, you will receive exemptions in some professional papers depending on your module choices. In the ever-changing, increasingly complex world of business and finance, employers are looking for job candidates with the analytical and technical skills required to keep up with new realities.
