Course summary

The BSc Accounting and Management with Integrated Foundation Year combines a three-year degree in Accounting and Management with a bespoke foundation year, taught on campus by Queen Mary lecturers. This route can provide you with a pathway to a bachelor's degree, if your prior education or English language proficiency does not enable you to apply for the three-year degree. Accounting disclosures and financial reports are vital to business analysis and decision-making. They equip managers, owners and investors with highly valuable information to use in monitoring the effectiveness of a firm or organisation. This joint degree programme will enable you to develop a broad understanding of the theory and practice of both disciplines and apply your knowledge and skills in the real work context. The core accounting modules will give you a sound understanding of accounting methods and financial management techniques designed to assess and improve company-level financial performance, while elective modules will cover the broad range of business and management subjects, the role of financial markets and institutions, company valuation, and corporate governance and accountability. This degree will challenge and inspire you, and provide you with an essential foundation for a future career in accounting, finance, banking or general management.
