Accountancy is concerned with the provision and analysis of information for a variety of purposes. These include regulation, resource allocation, and a range of other decision-making tasks, both within and outside an organisation. Finance addresses the ways in which money is raised and distributed over time, including the measurement and management of risk, the valuation of financial assets, and the operations of capital markets and their relationships with government, financial institutions and business. These subjects are informed by a range of perspectives including those from economics, mathematics, behavioural and political science, psychology and sociology. The BSc Accounting and Finance will provide you with a thorough working knowledge of accounting and finance theory and methods in the context of social science. You will learn how to prepare and interpret financial and managerial information for a variety of users, as well as gaining an understanding of the theory and practice of investment and finance. You may learn in lectures, seminars and computer lab sessions, and through independent study. Our academics use case studies, simulations, group work and problem-solving exercises to encourage you to explore concepts and their applications. These activities will also help you to develop team working, presentation and communication skills, which are essential in the workplace. You will graduate with a wide choice of career options in finance and accounting fields. You could choose to become an auditor, a tax specialist, a management accountant or consultant, or a financial controller. Graduates have gone on to work for financial organisations such as Barclay’s Capital and Deloitte. This course is also an excellent foundation for further study at postgraduate level. The BSc Accounting and Finance is accredited by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), and the Association of International Accountants (AIA). When you graduate you may be able to apply for exemptions from these organisations’ professional qualifications.
