BSc Accounting and Economics at Reading differs from its BA equivalent in that it provides a far greater emphasis on mathematical content and the development of strong technical skills. Therefore, this course is suited to those who possess an exceptional understanding of mathematics and hold a firm appreciation for its core mechanics. Through this demanding and challenging programme, you will gain a detailed knowledge, critical understanding and a range of technical application skills relating to the key business function of accounting and its three core areas: financial reporting, management account and business finance. This is complemented by a focus on the progressive study of the core theory and application of micro- and macroeconomics. With this strong combination of skills, knowledge and a heightened sense of commercial awareness, you will have everything you need for a successful and lucrative career in a business environment. Moreover, your enhanced knowledge of the mathematical and technical aspects will make you highly sought after by companies that create, maintain or use key economic and financial systems.
