Course Overview

This two-year top-up degree course allows you to build on your previous higher education studies to gain a full BA (Hons) degree in Accountancy and Financial Management. You must have 120 first-year higher education credits in accountancy to apply for this course.

This degree focuses on modern accountancy skills. You'll learn to understand, visualise and present financial data to inform and persuade businesses to make the right financial decisions. You'll work in small groups that replicate the workplace, with a focus on teamwork, real world case studies and developing strategy from financial data.

You'll be able to tailor your learning to your area of specialist interest, choosing your modules to focus on:

professional modules: take the fastest route to becoming an ACCA chartered accountant

finance modules: your best preparation route for working in banking or investment management

analytics modules: combine accounting with data analysis, including data cleaning, visualisation and modelling

The course is accredited by two key accounting bodies (ACCA and CIMA), so whichever route you take, you'll have exemptions from professional exams.
