Accounting and Management with Study Abroad

This four-year professionally accredited course offers not only a fully integrated degree that combines accounting and management subjects but also the opportunity to study abroad for a year at one of our partner universities. It aims to equip you with the attributes needed to pursue a wide range of accounting, consulting, and managerial career paths as a future organisational decision-maker. You will develop not only your ability to interpret, assess, and communicate financial and non-financial data but also transferable skills needed in modern societies.

During the first two years, you will develop sound knowledge and understanding of accounting practices, financial management techniques, and contemporary theories and practices of management and organisational behaviour. Your third year will be spent abroad, studying modules related to your degree in English and immersing yourself in different cultures.

You will return to Bristol for your final year to study the disciplines of accounting and management in more depth. Beyond the core units, you can specialise by choosing from an evolving range of accounting and management units. The course will allow you to sharpen your ability to think critically and challenge received information. You will also develop the key interpersonal skills needed for success in your professional career.

This course provides rewarding opportunities to participate in a summer internship and the Bristol PLUS Award. You'll also benefit from the Professional Liaison Network within the faculty, which runs a professional mentoring scheme with alumni, insight talks, and internships.

You can apply directly through UCAS or apply initially to BSc Accounting and Management and then apply to transfer in your second year. Places are allocated depending on first-year examination results and the availability of spaces and subject areas at destination universities.
