Your first year will introduce you to how money and value fit into business processes. You’ll explore the impact of business on wider society, looking at economics and legal and regulatory frameworks. In your first accountancy modules, you should also take your first steps in learning how to ‘account’ for money. From as early as year one, you should begin developing your professional and managerial skills.
In your second year, you will have the opportunity to study the core subjects in greater detail and will learn to analyse, critically evaluate and present key information. Key study themes include how accounting informs, supports and measures business strategy, including balancing investment with risk. You will examine the ethical and regulatory frameworks governing finance, including taxation, and take part in hands-on exercises to explore how money is moved and traded around the world.
You’ll go into year three either straight after successfully completing year two, or after you have successfully completed your year in industry or study abroad (subject to successfully securing a place). In your final year, you’ll be encouraged to take a more high-level approach to finance. You’ll also have the chance to strengthen your research skills as you prepare for your final major project, which you will choose from a range of options.
