Description
This degree programme focuses on the broad areas of accounting and management, with an international emphasis. You can also achieve a significant amount of credit for prior learning with respect to the ICAEW’s Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualification.
About the programme
This programme combines two key areas of business practice to provide students with a firm grounding for a variety of careers including accountancy, banking, retail, marketing and the civil service. You will gain a range of professional and technical skills, and a heightened sense of commercial awareness that will be immediately transferable to the business environment.
The accountancy element covers the core areas of financial reporting, management accounting and business finance and will enable you to develop detailed knowledge, critical understanding and a range of technical application skills. This is complemented by the management aspects of the programme, which explore the factors, both internal and external to an organisation, that impact on its success.
You will continue to study the core areas of accounting in your second and final years, while the management element will enable you to tailor your degree towards your own interests by exploring areas such as marketing, organisational behaviour, strategy, information systems, human resource management, entrepreneurship and ethics.
In your third year you have the choice of a one-year work placement or an optional work placement module, which will provide a valuable opportunity to apply and further develop your knowledge and skills.
This experience will also enhance your CV and future graduate employment prospects and help you to build a professional network.
Professional accreditation
Graduates of BA Accounting and Management can apply for exemptions and/or credit for prior learning from the professional accounting bodies. You will graduate with knowledge and professional skills, and a heighted sense of commercial awareness that will be immediately transferable in a business environment.
