Course Overview

Complementing modules that combine key accounting theory with problem-based learning around real-world scenarios, the course offers an optional, year-long placement between your second and final years. Its an opportunity well worth taking up to give your CV the edge with valuable experience €“ whether youre interested in a training contract or role in industry accounting. And depending on the nature of the placement, this may count as the practice element youll need for full membership of the highly respected Association of Accounting Technicians. If it is the chartered accountant route that appeals, youll need to satisfy the requirements of professional accounting bodies. So weve designed our Accounting course with this in mind.
