**About this course**

Learn financial and management accounting techniques and explore key business issues such as the growth in digital commerce, developments in data analysis, and the dynamic nature of the global business environment.

**Skills**

While developing your accounting knowledge and skills, you will develop yourself personally, become confident in your own values, apply your knowledge to solve problems, and ultimately learn to add value to any organisation.

Across the three years, you will undertake specialist ACCA-accredited accounting modules, which means when you graduate, you will be fully exempt for the first two levels of the ACCA professional exams (the applied knowledge and applied skills) if you choose to work towards your full professional qualification.

Studying at Roehampton you will become highly employable and capable, with the knowledge and skills required by employers and professional accounting bodies.

**Career opportunities**

You will be set up to move into working in accounting and finance jobs (e.g., chartered accountant, chartered certified accountant, tax advisor, chartered management accountant, chartered public finance accountant, forensic accountant, compliance officer, or career in financial services) in the corporate, public or voluntary sectors.

You can follow pathways into accountancy via the main professional bodies in the UK, and bypass some of the foundation level examinations needed for qualifying as an accountant.

Modules

Examples include:

• Business Data Analysis
• Management Accounting Techniques
• Audit Practice and Ethics

You don't have to be an accountant if you take this degree, but over half of graduates take a look at the rewards on offer for accountancy trainees and go into the job. Many others go into other parts of the finance industry as advisors or book-keepers, and some go into management or marketing. London is very popular for accountancy graduates going into their first job, but it's also quite common to work in Scotland, with Glasgow a perennial hotbed of Scottish accountancy recruitment. If you want to find a job in finance as an accountancy graduates, recruitment agencies were particularly important last year, so try to get in touch with one as soon as you can to improve your chances.
