Program details

Overview

The BSc Accounting is a professionally accredited single honours degree with strong ties to the profession and industry. It is studied over three years of full-time study and builds knowledge of accounting from the first year. No advanced maths background is required, since clear written and verbal communication matters as much as numerical skill. Accounting professionals operate across many parts of organisations, and the degree explores how financial information supports decisions. Students study accounting alongside complementary modules in business, economics and finance. Graduates are prepared for careers as trusted business advisers across many sectors. Students may extend the degree with a placement year or time at an overseas partner institution, which adds professional and international experience. Students learn to present financial information clearly to non-specialists.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Typical offer: AAB and a grade B/6 or above in GCSE Mathematics (if Mathematics is not studied at A-Level).
