Description: About the Course
This honours degree programme prepares students for a career in accounting and finance. The course subjects are taught by highly qualified lecturing staff who are also experienced accountants. Their continued experience of accounting and finance, in the real commercial world, ensures the delivery of a relevant and up to date syllabus that will include interesting and pertinent case studies. In particular, students will study the impact of EU Law on accountancy.

In first year students take subjects that are common to the BA (Hons) in Business Studies. This model gives students the flexibility to adjust their career choices if necessary.

Once completed you will have all the necessary skills to pursue a dynamic and rewarding career in accounting and finance. As someone who is interested in the relationship between numbers and success this may only be the first stage of your journey as other opportunities will present themselves.

As with the BA (Hons) in Business Studies, the college designed this degree programme with the help and considerable expertise of its full-time and external lecturing staff, as well as a wide range of people in industry. As a result, the programme reflects the multiple requirements of today's business and finance world.

Careers
While typical careers focus on the world of finance and accounting in particular, any aspect of the business arena is open to graduates. A significant advantage is the many exemptions from the professional exams for which graduates of the course are eligible. Students who do not wish to focus on a career as an accountant will find numerous opportunities in banking, stockbroking, currency trading, management, insurance or any career in the financial sector.
