Accounting and Finance at University of Manchester - UCAS

Course summary

The BA(Econ) course is an interdisciplinary course that allows you to not only specialise in Economics, but also learn other social science course units such as philosophy, politics and sociology. You have the flexibility to either delve into technical units in Economics such as Econometrics and Mathematical Economics or combine economics units covering inequality and climate change with social science units to develop a well-rounded understanding on social issues. The Accounting and Finance pathway of the BA(Econ) course is a long-established and popular degree. Taught by experts across the University, the degree features a broad range of internationally recognised and research-led teaching in accounting, finance, economics and law. You will benefit from experts in business and social sciences with this jointly delivered degree by Alliance Manchester Business School and the School of Social Sciences. We are well connected and have ties with the three main accounting bodies (ICAEW, CIMA and ACCA), along with international businesses, such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Kellogg's and Rolls Royce. The course offers a flexible and relevant learning experience for anyone considering a career in finance, accounting or banking. Accounting and Finance shares a common first year with other BA(Econ) pathways, allowing you to switch to a different pathway after Year 1 if you want to.
