This course is a great way to prepare for a sparkling career in international finance, business, politics, media and a variety of other sectors. You will gain a thorough grounding in the theory and practice of accountancy, set within the wider perspective of the global economy. You will be taught by leading international economists whose work influences government policy. Accountancy and Economics are two diverse subjects that will provide you with a solid understanding of how the world's largest organisations process financial information. Students are assessed by any combination of three assessment methods: coursework, such as essays and reports completed throughout the course; practical assessments of the skills and competencies they learn on the course; and written examinations at the end of each course. Accountancy and Economics graduates work in many roles across the business and financial sectors. Our graduates have gone on to work in careers such as financial management, statistics and auditing for regional and national public sector bodies. With the University's strong focus on employability, you will have a wide range of career options. In Aberdeen itself, the unemployment rate is one of the lowest in the UK.
