The ability to produce quality financial data is integral to strategic decision-making and could ultimately be the reason a business thrives or dissolves. Because of this, accountants and financial officers are in demand in both the public and private sector, as well as in not for-profit organisations such as charities.
The University will aim to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skillset to help them get into the accounting profession. Alongside their learning, students will also get the chance to conduct critical research with the experienced staff, learn from guest visitors and take part in practical modules. For a variety of industries, the University will provide students with not only theoretical insights, but the practical knowledge needed to effectively deliver financial and accounting services. This course covers a comprehensive range of themes including taxation, financial reporting, budget management and business operations.
Successful graduates will be knowledgeable across a range of accounting and management disciplines, giving them a potential advantage over candidates who have gone through the traditional route of an independent and narrowly focused course. Students will have gained several module exemptions with professional accounting bodies in addition to their degree, giving them a good advantage for progression towards becoming a Chartered Accountant.
