Course summary
The one-year BSc Accounting and Finance (Top-up) degree at Aberystwyth University will prepare you for a career in professional accountancy or financial services, and is the ideal option for students who have already achieved a recognised standard of learning in a relevant subject.
In your year with us you will study financial accounting, management accounting, investments, and fintech. You will have the option of taking auditing and taxation.
Our research-active staff will help you develop a broad understanding of the operational context, and the impact of financial measurement and disclosure on cash-flow, internal policy and financial systems.
