Course summary

As of September 2023, this course will change from a Bachelor of Arts (BA) to a Bachelor of Science (BSc) to better reflect the quantitative and analytical nature of the course. There is no change to the course content. At Nottingham Business School, we create graduates with not only a degree but also practical experience and accreditation towards major accountancy bodies the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). Our aim is to ensure you develop personally and professionally throughout your degree, ready to achieve your dream career. This course enables you to apply theory to important real-world issues, improving your decision-making and problem solving skills and ultimately preparing you for a career in the industry. This degree not only looks at the theories and practices of accounting and finance, but also their context in a business setting and significance within contemporary society. You’ll engage in group based exercises that will develop your skills as a team player, as well as improving your self-confidence and interpersonal skills. You’ll have access to our unique Business Lab facility. With double-screen workstations the room gives you a simulated experience of working in the fast-moving world of shares trading. You can access sophisticated analysis tools and Bloomberg Terminal data on worldwide financial markets.
