Career outcomes

Students completing the course will have the skills and knowledge to enter any branch of Accounting. This might include financial accounting operations, management accounting, auditing, taxation or financial management; or general business management in both the private and public sector. Whilst the course curriculum is designed with further ACCA or AIA study in mind, the course will provide an excellent platform for any further professional study in Accounting and Finance (for example the Chartered Insurance Institute will give exemption for students passing Financial Accounting and Taxation). Although most of our graduates join an accounting firm or larger multinational companies to complete their professional studies, others use their expertise within the financial services sector or are involved in more general management roles. Students wishing to enter general business management will also find that an Accounting degree will enable them to understand much of the operations of business. This is a highly numerate and sought-after degree that will give you a competitive advantage.
