About this course
From September 2023, this course will be taught at UA92’s brand new Business School in Manchester City Centre. Details of the exact campus location will be confirmed in due course.
Graduates with a finance background are in high demand. This one-year Certificate of Higher Education in Accounting and Financial Management will prepare you for a career in areas such as accountancy, auditing, tax advisory, wealth management, banking, business development and organisational leadership.
The Certificate of Higher Education is just the first year of the Degree and will allow you to experience university-level study, that is the first year of a degree, gaining both subject knowledge and developing personally through UA92’s CPD modules as well. It is taught along with all the other first year degree students and there is no difference in content or teaching or anything whatsoever. Upon successful completion of the course, you simply complete a very short internal application and move directly onto the second year of the full degree programme at UA92. This means you would have completed a full degree in the same amount of time as degree students. Alternatively, should you wish, you can leave with a Certificate in Higher Education after your one year with us.
As a future accounting and finance professional, you will understand the legal, ethical and efficient practices which are critical to the role.
Studying a range of core and advanced accountancy and finance modules, you will gain skills in analysing, planning and decision-making. As well as gaining the knowledge to provide financial advice to public, private and third sector organisations.
This course will enable you to:
• explore the challenges of operating in a contemporary business environment and how new digital technologies are driving change
• develop advanced skills in key areas such as management accounting and financial reporting - getting to grips with contemporary accounting information systems,
• understand the importance and process of audit and assurance within an organisation and the regulatory framework governing practitioners,
• get to grips with the complexities of taxation and the implications of inaccurate calculations,
• explore the legal environment within finance, financial crimes and the growing area of cybercrime.
• Analyse the two dimensions of finance and sustainability
