COURSE CURRICULUM

The Accounting and Finance degree at the University of West London offers a structured learning pathway that builds knowledge and professional skills year by year. In the first year, students are introduced to the foundations of the discipline through modules in financial and management accounting, economics, quantitative methods, sustainability in accounting, and digital skills tailored for accountants. This combination provides both theoretical and practical insights into how accounting supports businesses and economies. In the second year, the focus shifts towards applied knowledge with modules such as financial accounting, auditing, taxation, business and corporate law, financial management, and management accounting. These areas give students a solid grounding in core professional practices while also preparing them for professional body exemptions. The final year consolidates learning with advanced study in corporate finance, financial reporting, and performance management and control. Students then choose three optional modules from areas such as personal and corporate taxation, auditing, blockchain technologies in finance, or analysis of current issues in accounting and finance, enabling them to tailor their studies to personal career interests. By progressing through these levels, students graduate with a comprehensive understanding of accounting theory, practical application, and strategic financial management, ready for careers in accounting and finance.
