We’ll help you develop as a person to achieve your potential through teaching you about accounting and how it works. You’ll graduate with potential for employment in different businesses; this could be an organisation, the private or public sector, a charity or possibly your own business. We aim to give you the skills to apply your knowledge in a wide range of situations in any sector.

Following a accounting pathway, you’ll develop specialist accounting skills. These include the ability to confidently interrogate financial information; understand costing concept; prepare overhead analysis sheets; make decisions employing marginal costing; and understand the nature and purpose of environmental accounting, and its link with social responsibility.

You can also bring in modules from areas outside the accounting pathway if you want to explore issues around a particular ‘theme’, such as sustainability or global affairs.

Work placements, industry links and internships

In addition to the business community projects, you’ll have fantastic opportunities to work closely with business and industry through placements, projects and internships.
