Accounting today is increasingly complex and global in scope. This program provides academic training at the frontier of accounting and financial management knowledge. It’s an excellent foundation on which students can build a career in accountancy, investment banking or financial analysis.
During this course, if students meet the minimum performance criteria in the first term they will have the opportunity to sit the Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA) Level 1 professional exam. On completion of the degree, students can also secure Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) exemptions from most of the Fundamental level papers depending on each student's module choices during the second term. If students have passed all Fundamental level papers they could then progress on the ACCA pathway which provides a recognised level of tuition for ACCA’s Professional-level papers: P2 (Strategic Business Reporting) and P4 (Advanced Financial Management).
The program balances theory with applied learning, using practical working examples to enhance skills and understanding. Students will learn about the principles of financial reporting and foundation of finance, and have the chance to study modules such as financial statement analysis, advanced management accounting or advanced investment management. Some modules also provide training in Python programming to help address the industry’s skills gap and give graduates a competitive edge in the jobs market.
Students are encouraged to select their dissertation according to their future career path. Dissertations are managed in streams. Students will be invited to presentation sessions by the stream leader and they will choose from either empirical asset pricing, accounting, CFA level 1, or corporate finance.
Throughout the course students will have access to the School’s career support. Advisers will help shape a one-to-one plan to ensure students make the most of their time here.
