Subject

Accounting

**The staff who run our accounting degrees at Hull have real-world experience. It's a testament to the quality of their teaching that many of our graduates go on to become accountants with the ‘Big Four’ accountancy firms: Ernst & Young, Deloitte, PwC and KPMG, or organisations such as the IMF and World Bank.**

You'll develop an in-depth understanding of global accounting through placements, projects, case studies, guest lectures and online mentoring.

You can train to use the industry-standard Bloomberg Financial Markets Laboratory which you'll then use to practise trading. Summer schools are also available with a range of overseas partners.

Extend your studies by spending a year abroad at one of our partner institutions.
