Accounting and Financial Management (with placement year) at Loughborough University - UCAS

Course summary

Our BSc Accounting and Financial Management course is designed to prepare you for careers in diverse areas of accounting, finance and management, and to equip you to deal with the challenges of an ever-changing business world. One of our key goals is to develop the wider skills and intellectual independence our graduates will need to thrive in a long and rewarding professional career. We help you develop the technical accounting and finance skills needed to get a head start in your professional career, but we also place accounting firmly in its business context. Our Accounting and Financial Management degree is approved by major professional accounting bodies in the UK (ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA and ICAEW) and graduates can gain exemptions from some of their examinations or credits for prior learning. However, we offer the opportunity to study a much wider range of subjects than those of the narrow professional syllabuses. We are committed to helping you stand out in a highly competitive graduate job market and the course has a first rate graduate employability record. The course develops skills valued by employers including independent learning and research, analytical skills, teamwork, presentation skills, project work, computer skills and numeracy. The wide variety of optional modules allows you to develop specialist skills and tailor your degree to suit your career aspirations. Skills for employability is a key part of the Loughborough experience and can really boost your job prospects, and this degree has a module specifically built in to help you develop your study and employability skills. There are also specific modules in entrepreneurship to help those with aspirations to start or develop their own businesses. Our BSc (Hons) Accounting and Financial Management degree shares the same first year modules as our Finance degree. If you realise at the end of your first academic year that you prefer the finance route, you may transfer to our Finance degree.
