BA (Honours) Accounting and Finance

Over three years, learners move through staged study that blends accounting with business maths, information technology, business law, management and finance. Core modules cover financial reporting, cost accounting and integrated accounting systems, giving working knowledge of how numbers are recorded, controlled and explained. The design balances applied skills with conceptual theory, so the content stays useful for people who will manage money inside organisations. This is a Level 8 honours degree validated by QQI, carrying 180 ECTS credits overall. Entry runs through the CAO route, or directly for ab initio applicants who meet the college's standard requirements and recognition of prior learning rules. Graduates can move into managerial and financial roles, and exemptions from several ACCA professional examinations can shorten the path to a professional accountancy qualification.
