Duration: 3 years full-time; 4 years sandwich (study abroad or work placement). If you have an interest in current financial and accounting issues but are not yet sure which area you would like to specialise in, this course allows you to look at each course before making any final decisions. This course gives you the option to specialise in accountancy as well as finance, and you could benefit from many of the exemptions that are available from the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA), the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and the Institute of Chartered Accountants England and Wales (ICAEW) with whom we are also a partner in learning. The exemptions will be available depending on the choices you make through your studies. This could provide a great first step in starting your accountancy career and will save you time and money when looking to complete your professional qualification after you graduate. If you choose the finance route there are a wide range of career opportunities for young ambitious graduates looking to work in finance.

On successful completion, you should be well placed to pursue a wide variety of careers as Accountants or Financial Managers in the corporate, financial or public sectors. You may decide to pursue postgraduate study opportunities to study courses such as the MSc Accounting and Financial Management here at Coventry University.
