Accounting with Finance with Placement Year

The BSc (Hons) Accounting with Finance with Placement Year is aimed at students who have an interest in developing their knowledge and understanding of the key aspects of accounting and finance, and in particular, who are looking to pursue a professional career in accounting. The curriculum is also complemented by guest lectures and ‘live’ workshops to promote independent learning and help students increase their employability skills for the future.

Year 1 provides students with a good understanding of the foundations of accounting and finance alongside the fundamentals of business. Years 2 and 3 give applicants an in-depth knowledge of how companies use accounting and finance to make decisions and report performance under conditions of uncertainty and risk. The programme equips students with the knowledge and skills required for a professional career in a rapidly changing work environment, while supporting self-awareness, personal development and providing access to valuable work-experience opportunities.

If taking a Placement Year, this will fall in the 3rd year of a 4-year degree. Students will have the opportunity to find paid work, putting the learning of their first 2 years into practice to develop and enhance real world skills to launch their career.

This degree is ideal for those interested in a future professional career in accounting, finance, audit and taxation. It offers an excellent grounding in accounting and acts as a foundation for further study in accounting or finance at postgraduate or professional level.
