Overview

The world needs flexible and prepared thinkers, ready to build financially robust businesses that can deal with the unexpected and cope with a crisis. This challenging degree will build on strong analytical skills, exploring the economics of markets such as money, capital, risk management, and modern finance theory in business.

The Accounting with Business Management programme seeks to develop skills in analysis, problem-solving, and organization management which are of value in an ever-changing working environment. Accounting is explored in depth and broadened by the development of links with other disciplines such as Business, Management, Law, and Technology.

The determination to increase your employability is at the heart of everything we do. Our programme is structured to address many of the competence requirements of professional accounting bodies and to give students a range of learning experiences tailored to careers in accounting. In addition, our Accounting Simulation module prepares you for a career in accounting or finance environments. You will apply your knowledge, skills, and values in an employment simulation where you will develop an ability to determine relevant information and select appropriate knowledge and methods for decision-making, mimicking real-world scenarios.

Throughout the course, we will expand your understanding of business concepts, ideas, models, and methods, with a strong focus on strategic management. This valuable expertise will help you to stand out in roles in corporations, finance, and the civil service, in the competitive business world.
