Accounting and Finance
If you're a problem solver who loves numbers, our Accounting and Finance BSc is the course for you.
The course is accredited by four professional accounting bodies, allowing you to gain exemptions from their exams and kick-start your career if you want to become a chartered accountant, or gain an edge if you see yourself working in the fields of finance.
Develop the data handling skills that employers are looking for by working on real-time business data in our Bloomberg Finance Lab. You'll learn from our expert academics and industry professionals through lectures, seminars, and practical sessions.
The foundation year is for students whose school-leaving qualifications are below the level required. It offers one year of full-time study prior to the start of your BSc course.
