The Joint Honours degree Accounting and Management offers students the opportunity to combine the main elements of each discipline and to gain a sound knowledge of the core areas of both of these subjects. Equal weighting is given to each throughout the three years of the degree programme, and the use of core modules ensures that students have studied the essential elements of each subject. Throughout the programme of study the Accounting area is taught entirely through core modules, while the Management area offers students the opportunity to pursue topics which are of particular interest to them.

In 2010, 76% of the Business School’s graduates were in employment within six months of graduation while a further 14% were engaged in further study. Employers included: banks, local and international governments, shipping companies, auditors and airlines with organisations such as Deloitte, the European Commission, National Assembly for Wales, Rolls Royce, HSBC and L’Oréal. Career destinations included: Accountant, Business Analyst, Economist, HR Manager, Lecturer, Marketing Executive, Production Manager and Stockbroker. Many students graduating from Cardiff with a BSc Accounting degree enter the accountancy profession, particularly chartered accountancy, while others may pursue careers in finance, commerce, industry or the public sector. We have also recently invested in a new Careers and Employability Centre which is based at the School. We have two dedicated career officers available to offer an expert service to Business School students.
