Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Accounting and Management (NN24)

This course offers students the chance to gain a solid foundation in accounting while developing their knowledge of management subjects such as human resources or marketing. Students are encouraged to pursue their interests, develop their strengths, and move towards their ideal career, offering flexibility and the opportunity to specialise their studies based on their strengths and interests.

The degree is accredited by globally-recognised accountancy bodies (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) and Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA)). This provides graduates with exemptions from many core professional examinations, depending on students' module choices, and means, on graduation, they will be further along the route to qualifying as an accountant than many of their contemporaries.

In the first year, students study accounting and finance using real-world data from actual companies. They will learn about economic issues such as inflation, demand and cost. All second-year students study auditing, financial accounting, finance, management accounting and statistical analysis. Other options include law and subjects from at least two other Management School departments. The third year builds on knowledge with more advanced options in accountancy, management and finance. Select from topics ranging from taxation to ethical behaviour, share prices to mergers, and choose whether to write a dissertation.

Throughout, students learn from academics whose global perspectives inform government and regulators, and from practitioners with experience of running businesses and working in accounting and management. Specialist careers events put students in contact with potential employers, and the university's expert careers team help them develop practical skills and assets highly-valued in the world of work. Modules prepare students for interviews and assessment centres, build their CVs and make them attractive to potential employees, placing them in a strong position to start their future career.
