Modules

Your first year will cover assurance, business finance, business law, computers in business, economic principles, fundamentals of financial and management accounting, principles of taxation, and quantitative methods, as well as work and society as an optional module. You will also find out where you will be placed with PwC in year two onwards. After a study block in early September on audit and assurance, you will spend September to December on placement with PwC. You will assist on real client work, applying the knowledge you have learnt earlier in the course. Returning to your studies in January, you will take modules on audit and assurance, corporate finance, financial accounting and reporting, and tax compliance. You will start year three by undertaking another block of study in early September on financial accounting and reporting. Following this, you will spend September to December on placement, where you will take on more complex work before returning to your studies in January. Starting your final year in late September, you will study contemporary issues in accounting, also choosing from a range of optional modules. Your studies at the university will conclude in early February and you will then undertake the Professional Practice module during your final placement, ending in May. After the course, if you have performed strongly, you could be offered a full-time role at PwC.
