Accountancy BSc

Our BSc Accountancy Flying Start degree is an innovative course aimed at students who want to become ICAEW Chartered Accountants. This four-year programme is sponsored by PwC and overseen by the ICAEW.

You will spend three to four months on paid work placement at PwC in your second, third and fourth years, assisting on real client work. You'll be supported by a network of staff from both the Business School and PwC.

You will get a solid grounding in fundamental disciplines including business finance, financial and management accounting, and business law. In addition, many of the modules you will study carry accreditation towards the ACA accountancy qualification.

You can also follow your interests and career aspirations by selecting from optional modules alongside your core subjects. You could choose from areas such as entrepreneurship, risk management and corporate governance.

You have the option to take industry-recognised digital qualifications by Microsoft and SAP alongside your course, which will develop your digital skills and help you stand out to future employers.

You will graduate with all the knowledge, practical skills and confidence you need as you start your career, with many of our students offered positions with PwC after they graduate.

Our Undergraduate Prospectus lists entry requirements for A levels and International Baccalaureate students for each course.

Students taking the Tawjihi (Secondary School Leaving Certificate) or American High School Diploma (no APs or SAT Iis) or International Baccalaureate Certificate are usually required to take a foundation course.

Students who have completed one or two years of university study may be eligible for bachelors admission, if relevant subjects have been studied and strong grades achieved. 

Students taking APs or SATs should refer to our entry requirements for the USA.
