The fast-paced business world is ever-changing, but organisations will always need financial expertise if they are to thrive in the dynamic and global economic environment.

The BA (Hons) International Accounting programme at Lincoln is designed to develop a broad understanding of accountancy and finance in an international context. The programme aims to provide students with the skills and knowledge to work in a variety of professional roles and in a range of business environments, helping organisations make well-informed financial decisions about current and future plans and strategies.

During the course, students are able to gain a thorough grounding in international business and accounting techniques and practices, while also developing the academic skills that would enable them to continue into postgraduate study.

Given the global nature of the programme, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) will be applied throughout the teaching of financial accounting modules to help students understand the issues surrounding codes of professional conduct and ethical behaviour in business.

Placements

All full-time students on this course have the opportunity to take a year-long work placement after the second year. A work placement can allow students to gain valuable experience and apply their learning in practice. Students are encouraged to obtain placements in industry and do this independently, although tutors may provide support and advice during this process.

Please note that students who choose to undertake a work placement do not pay tuition fees for that year, but are required to cover their travel, accommodation, and general living costs.

There are also opportunities for relevant work experience and career development as part of the degree course itself, as well as through various other Lincoln International Business School and University schemes. For more information about this please visit LIBS work placements pages.

A degree in International Accounting can prepare students for a career in accountancy, taxation, financial management, investment banking, insurance, financial services, and many other fields.
