BSc Accounting and Financial Management

Discover how the public, private and third-sector organisations are funded and accounted for, as well as how they (and their investors) manage their finances.

Learn from the knowledge and real-world experience of research-active staff who have worked in the industry and so have real-world experience.

It's a testament to the quality of their teaching that so many of our graduates go on to become accountants with the ‘Big Four’ accountancy firms: Ernst & Young, Deloitte, PwC and KPMG, or organisations such as the IMF and World Bank.
