BA (Hons) in Accounting and Finance

Unlike the standard Management Programme, Level 1 provides a more detailed underpinning to the study of accounting in the modern IT world. It also gives a more detailed understanding of Business Economics in the context of the service sector for those who will provide an accounting service. The Business Skills module introduces the important and relevant skills for independent learning.

The traditional areas of Accounting and Finance such as Cost Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Procedures & Standards and Taxation are supplemented by modules to support the understanding of these activities. These include modules dealing with the Financial Sector and the Management of such services, alongside Spreadsheet Modelling Techniques & Personal Finance which provide tools that the accountant can use. Independent learning continues in all modules but is a particular focus and requirement in Research Methods.

Here, the approach to accounting and finance is more strategic and corporate with an international perspective. This is because much of business today is global and money flows around the world very easily with today's technology. You will also explore Auditing and Corporate Finance to further equip you for the modern accounting and finance world. Tools which can be used in developing accounting and finance strategies are explored through the Financial Modelling module.

The Accounting and Finance Project further develops the academic and practical aspects of your chosen area of study and reinforces your independent learning skills.
