Most pathways in business require an ability to use and interpret financial information, even if you are not considering a career as a financial manager. This course will give you the knowledge you need to apply accounting principles in a way that enhances business strategies. You will explore the latest theories and current practices, learning to assess them critically. In this course you’ll learn the principles of accounting and finance, working in teams that mirror the business working environment. You’ll develop critical evaluation skills that will allow you to analyse financial data, with the aim of applying it to your area of business. Teamwork skills will also be emphasised, as you work collaboratively with fellow students experienced in a variety of disciplines. Your research and presentation skills will be developed throughout the taught course and as you prepare for your final dissertation.
