COURSE CURRICULUM

The Accounting and Finance degree offers a structured, progressive curriculum designed to develop both technical expertise and practical skills over three years. In the first year, students gain a strong foundation in financial accounting, management accounting, personal financial planning, and business law, alongside understanding the business environment and developing skills in data analysis and computerised accounting. These modules equip students with the ability to record, report, and analyse financial transactions, while also building awareness of the legal and financial contexts in which accountants operate. In the second year, the focus shifts to more advanced concepts, including financial reporting, management accounting for planning and control, financial management, digital accounting and taxation, and auditing and assurance. Students also enhance their professional development through practical projects and exposure to real-world business scenarios, preparing them for employment in the finance sector. The final year explores advanced financial reporting, strategic decision-making, taxation, and the role of a strategic business partner, enabling students to critically evaluate financial and business information to support organisational goals. Students can further tailor their learning by choosing optional modules such as financial trading, forensic accounting, or additional professional development, ensuring a well-rounded education that combines technical knowledge, analytical skills, and strategic insight, readying graduates for diverse careers in accounting and finance.
