The BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance course has long been a popular choice because of its excellent career prospects. The course is so closely tied to real-world professional requirements that, when you've successfully completed it, you'll be exempt from exam papers from professional accounting bodies: the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

 

A typical week for you will include lectures, seminars, self-directed study, workshops, and case studies. As part of your active learning, you'll work on problems and issues with the tutor and other students. Through analysing data and drawing your own conclusions, you’ll explore approaches to different business situations.

 

Due to the accreditation associated with this course, you'll predominantly be assessed via closed-book written examinations. Other methods include coursework and narrative reports. 

 

The part-time option for the course is delivered over ten semesters, with no more than two days a week on-campus, plus independent study.
