Graduate part-qualified with the potential to earn more from day one on this accredited accountancy degree that’s set up for rapid career success.
You’ll study global accounting from staff with real-world experience, and put what you learn into practice in live business projects. On our four-year course with a placement year, you’ll get the chance to gain a whole 12 months of real-life, hands-on experience in industry before you graduate.
We offer industry-standard facilities like our Bloomberg Financial Markets Laboratory, and our newly enhanced Business Lounge is a great space to meet with businesses, entrepreneurs and future partners.
Why study at Hull?
-
Qualify faster: Get employed and start earning quicker – you’ll be exempt from essential exams linked to professional qualifications with this AACSB accredited degree that’s endorsed by all the main accountancy bodies.
-
Gain real-world experience: On top of your placement year, you can take part in hands-on learning with our internship, networking, mentoring, and international summer school opportunities.
-
Industry-standard facilities: Access our Bloomberg Financial Markets Laboratory to practice trading in real time using databases like Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters EIKON, Orbis and FAME.
Where could this take me?
Alongside your studies, you’ll get the opportunity to enhance your CV: by studying for a CIMA qualification, registering for the ACCA Future Talent Academy (an employability platform full of useful content, activities and advice), and by accessing our Centre for Professional Success (a source of relevant placements and employer projects).
Most accounting students become Chartered Accountants, but it’s not the only option. Recent graduates have found work with companies including Citibank, Lloyds Banking Group, Fujitsu, Jaguar Land Rover, Smith & Nephew, the Civil Service, and the Big Four: Ernst & Young, Deloitte, PwC and KPMG.
