Hide-What is this course about?
This course is a one-year add-on degree designed for students who wish to build on previous learning. It provides students with a deeper knowledge of financial and management accounting and taxation and is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in professional accountancy, finance, management, banking and the financial services industry.

The course contains a Work Placement module and is suitable for those seeking to broaden their knowledge of accounting. It is both a qualification in its own right and a stepping-stone to the Level 8 (Honours) Degree in Accounting and Finance.

This Accounting and Finance course offers students a contemporary approach to accounting and finance, focusing on the exploration of key practical and theoretical issues in accounting, auditing, management accounting, taxation, company law and people management. It also allows students to develop highly desirable transferable skills including analytical thinking and problem-solving skills as well as enabling them to think logically and quantitatively.

This degree is both professionally and managerially oriented and is recognised by leading professional accountancy bodies including: CAI, ACCA, CIMA and CPA.

Why take this course?
This course is primarily designed for those students who have a previous qualification in Accounting and Finance, such as the Higher Certificate in Business in Accounting and Finance (Level 6) and/or other equivalent qualifications to a Higher Certificate (Level 6) with appropriate pre-requisite subjects. Holders of qualifications in Accounting such as IATI and CAT (ACCA) may also be considered for entry to this course.
