Course summary

As the accounting and financial reporting world becomes more globalised, we concentrate on the developing international standards adopted by the key trading blocks. Our technical content focuses on the international reporting practices adopted by every company listed on a stock exchange within the EU and many companies further afield. We encourage you to recognise how financial information makes a contribution to society, and to consider where it might cause or inflate societal problems. We have close links with the accountancy profession, on a local, national and international level and across organisations of all sizes. You’ll benefit from the experience of practicing accountants, many of which are graduates of our degree, and understand their contemporary challenges through their insights and guest lectures. Our Accountancy degree offers one of the most comprehensive and extensive list of accreditations in the UK. Many students do an internship with an accountancy firm during their holidays, combining their study with work experience. Extensive opportunity exists for you to interact directly with employers.
