Accounting and Financial Management

Be inspired by our world leading academics, to develop essential industry ready skills and gain rigorous academic knowledge, contextualising the role of accounting and financial management in an organisation.

Learn about how the accounting and financial side of an organisation can support decision making, and help shape information systems and business architecture with socially responsible financial management.

Accounting and financial management plays a major role in all organisations. It extends way beyond a series of numerical techniques and processes. In this degree, we show you the bigger picture, help you to develop skills like digital literacy, teamwork and communication, and establish your business awareness – so you can take your career in any direction you choose.

You'll explore the impact of financial decisions on societal welfare, the environment and company stakeholders. And you’ll use our industry-standard Trading Room, kitted out with Bloomberg and Refinitiv Eikon terminals, to enhance your technical knowledge.

And if you want to gain some real, first-hand experience, you can decide to take a placement year between your second and third year – making it even simpler to step from your degree into the career you want.
