​Our BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance course is professionally accredited by the ACCA, CIMA and ICAEWand students may obtain the maximum number of exemptions from these bodies’ professional examinations. The course will provide you with a comprehensive introduction to all areas of accounting and prepares you for further study at the final stages of professional accounting qualifications.

Students taking the sandwich option will also undertake a year-long work placement between their second and third years.​

-There is a considerable demand from UK employers for accounting graduates and past experience suggests that a significant proportion of graduates will obtain graduate training places in ‘the big four’, finance sections of businesses, high street practices and the public sector. The course is fully accredited by the main UK accounting bodies and you will be able to obtain maximum exemptions from the ACCA and ICAEW examinations and substantial exemptions from the CIMA examinations. This is therefore a demanding course, which combines academic content with the development of the knowledge and skills required to pass the accounting bodies’ final examinations. ​
