The BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance course is underpinned by a broad base of general management modules, which are then built upon by studying more specialist accounting and finance topics. This combination of subject areas will provide you with a strong foundation to become a competent financial manager.
The first year of your studies will introduce you to a broad range of accounting and management subjects and Taxation 1. Typically, you will be studying four modules a semester over the two semesters that make up our academic year.
The pattern of your study in the second year is similar to that of the first but you will be studying more focused accounting and finance subjects including Financial Reporting, Financial Management, Taxation 2, Auditing and Management Accounting. In addition, in each semester you will be able to select an option module of your choice from a selection that are made available each year.
In your final year with us you will study Advance Financial Accounting and Corporate Finance and in addition you will work on your Management Project. The Management Project allows you to study in depth an accounting and finance topic of your choice and, being in the region of 10,500 words, will be the single largest piece of work that you complete on the course.
