The Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Accounting and Financial Management course is designed to prepare students for careers in diverse areas of accounting, finance and management and to equip them to deal with the challenges of an ever-changing business world. One of the key goals of the Accounting and Financial Management program is to develop the wider skills and intellectual independence that graduates will need to thrive in a long, rewarding professional career. This course offers students the opportunity to study a much wider range of subjects than those of the narrow professional syllabuses.
The course develops skills valued by employers including independent learning and research, analytical skills, teamwork, presentation skills, project work, computer skills and numeracy. Lectures are supported by online resources, tutorials, workshops, seminars and discussion groups. The wide variety of optional modules allows students to develop specialist skills and tailor their degree to suit their career aspirations.
Skills for employability is a key part of the Loughborough University experience and can really boost students' job prospects and this program has a module specifically built in to help students develop their study and employability skills. There are also specific modules in entrepreneurship to help those with aspirations to start or develop their own businesses.
