UndergraduateCourse summary
Our Accounting and Finance with Foundation Year degree provides you with an alternative route into undergraduate study, if for example, you don’t meet the typical entry requirements for our three-year programme. The additional foundation year helps you better prepare for degree-level study, giving you a taste of learning at this higher level. On successful completion, you will join Year 1 of the BSc (Hons) Accounting and Finance programme. On this foundation year, you’ll develop essential academic and IT skills, such as writing, communication, presentation and how to use digital resources to support your studies and research assignments. Equally important, you will learn how to collaborate and work with others. Studying this Accounting and Finance with Foundation Year degree will help introduce you to basic theories and concepts used within business, management and finance. You will examine how global organisations and businesses are organised and structured, and how finance issues affect them. Giving you an additional year to adapt and settle into university life, the foundation year aims to equip you with the academic and study skills to succeed at degree level. ‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.
