About the Programme
Accounting informs almost all areas of business, from strategy to outsourcing and operational planning to environmental policies. Accounting means more than cutting costs and managing transactions. Instead, it is vital for ensuring accountability as it encourages sound and ethical decision making so that you can make a positive impact in the workplace.
You will gain a firm understanding of the financial drivers underpinning business leadership, ethics, governance, planning and strategy. You will explore both financial and management accounting and use case studies to apply theory to practice. These are skills that employers increasingly value.
Through this programme, you will gain a broad understanding of accounting and benefit from academic expertise in a range of areas, studying modules such as:
- Audit Principles and Practice
- Current Issues in Financial Reporting
- Elements in Corporate and Business Law
- Financial Reporting and Analysis
- Taxation Policy and Practice
You will have the opportunity to put your knowledge into practice by completing an in-depth, independent research project or dissertation. This will give you the chance to further develop vital employability skills in the areas of research, time management and critical thinking.
