Every organisation needs strong financial leadership, and our BA Accounting and Financial Management will set you on the road to success.

Accounting is more than mathematical techniques. The experienced academic team at Sheffield University Management School will help you see the bigger picture, so you can take your career in any direction you choose.

This multi-disciplinary approach means that you learn practical skills to help you land the right job, as well as gaining the rigorous academic knowledge that you require to progress. We'll also put things into context - helping you to understand the role of accounting and financial management within an organisation is key to this course. You'll learn how it affects everything, from budgeting and control to environmental issues.

The first year gives you a broad understanding of accounting, built around core modules such as Business Economics, as well as Introduction to Financial Accounting and Introduction to Management Accounting. We’ll encourage you to start thinking about life in the workplace with modules such as Introduction to Behaviour at Work and Professional Self Management. This structured, supportive process will help you to reflect on your own learning, performance and achievement in preparation for your first job. Our students quickly become familiar with the challenges faced by professional accountants. As your confidence grows, you'll develop your own views on how to approach these challenges.

In the second and third years, you'll study accounting and financial management techniques in detail, going from intermediate to advanced stages in financial and management accounting, and exploring Corporate Finance and Asset Pricing. Some modules cover material from professional accounting examinations, which means that students are given exemptions to accounting bodies including ACCA, ICAEW, CPA Australia and CIMA. Optional modules offer the chance to specialise and enhance your solid grounding in accounting and finance.
