Course Overview

The BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance degree at Newman provides you with the skills, knowledge, and resources relevant to a wide range of enterprises in the private and public sectors.

We focus on student-centered learning, and the development of the whole individual which will help you to develop into a successful accounting and financial professional with the capacity and vitality to make a difference.

Accounting and Finance at Newman are taught in smaller class sizes than many UK universities which enables discussion and debate to embed learning and view problems from a variety of perspectives, a vital skill for accountants. In this course, you will study accounting and finance in a way that addresses values and ethics in a way not always achieved in other institutions.

Over the three-year course, a variety of modules are covered to equip you with the knowledge to go on to be successful. Some of the types of modules you can expect include financial accounting, management accounting, and decision-making, personal and business taxation, auditing and assurance, corporate financial management, financial analysis, and financial reporting.

Newman provides excellent academic and individual support. Teaching is much more than just lectures, you will have the support of seminars, tutorials, group activities, study skills, and fieldwork. Taught modules are assessed through a variety of different forms of coursework, such as reports, presentations, analysis tasks, and reflective logs. Members of the department are always happy to give individual tutorials and advice on research and writing assignments.
