Course Overview

The course is aimed primarily at students wishing to enter a finance-related career. Many graduates have obtained trainee accountant positions in various organisations locally, nationally and internationally. However, an accounting qualification also provides an excellent basis for entry into general management with excellent prospects to develop into strategic roles.

We provide an environment that allows you to develop the ‘extra’ practical employability characteristics that will make you more attractive to employers in the job market in the years to come.

All programmes are designed to incorporate employability skills development alongside your degree. Our staff utilise their extensive business connections to provide many and varied opportunities to engage with potential employers through fairs, guest lectures, live projects and site visits. In addition, we offer workshops and events in all years that ensure you are equipped with both degree-level subject knowledge and the practical skills employers are looking for in new graduate recruits.

We offer extensive support for finding and securing sandwich-year placements, which have been shown to impact your career prospects when you graduate significantly.

Our award-winning careers service works with regional and national employers to advertise graduate positions and provide post-graduation support for all Teesside University alumni.
