BSc (Hons) - Accounting and Finance with Integrated Foundation Year

The BSc (Hons) Accounting and Finance with Integrated Foundation Year course builds on the university’s previous BA (Hons) Business, Accounting and Finance degree, which successfully achieved full F1–F9 exemptions from ACCA. The new programme updates and strengthens that provision with a more technical, professionally-oriented curriculum and the potential for up to seven ACCA module exemptions, helping graduates fast-track to professional status.

You’ll study a balanced portfolio covering financial and management accounting, law, auditing, taxation, and strategic finance, giving you a comprehensive understanding of how organisations operate and make financial decisions. Alongside these technical areas, you’ll build digital accounting capability using leading software such as Xero, Sage, and QuickBooks, and access live company data through databases such as Orbis to support financial analysis and decision-making.

The course integrates employer-led projects, mentoring, and compulsory industry placements developed with regional firms – ensuring you graduate workplace-ready, digitally competent, and prepared for professional progression.

Going to higher education can transform a person’s life. We use contextual admissions to make sure that we are accessible to everyone who has the potential to succeed. Qualifications and grades are important, but they are considered alongside other information that helps universities to identify potential and widen access to university level study. For some individuals, the disadvantages they have experienced in their life mean that they have not been able to demonstrate their full academic potential. Where a person lives and their personal circumstances can all affect their educational attainment.
