Accounting and Finance BSc (Hons)

About

Introduction:

Accounting starts and ends with people — not processes. It’s about communication, trust, and the ability to turn complex data into useful stories. Technology is changing the game for financial institutions worldwide, but human insights and intuition are still the beating heart of business. Accounting and finance is a place for inspired (and inspiring) decision-makers, where only the inquisitive and adaptable can truly thrive.

Choose your own pathway from our suite of specialist modules; meet guest speakers from organisations like Monzo, KPMG and the Bank of England; complete a one-year placement with companies like Deloitte, Siemens, and Volkswagen. Our accountancy course covers it all — from cybersecurity and Big Data analytics, to the rise of digital currencies, their impact on accounting practices, and how fintech and AI are reshaping the face of finance.

Forget the grey-suited stereotype of accounting, and prepare instead for a world of innovation and evolution; an ethical, responsible world, where businesses need to make more than just money. Accounting and finance is a fast-changing landscape, and we’re here to help you navigate it.

Complete a paid placement — some students have worked with the likes of BMW, Paul Smith, and Pirelli.
Learn from the experts, at a university rated TEF ‘Gold’ for teaching and learning.
Our students get great jobs — we’ve been ranked 1st in the UK for employability (Uni Compare 2025).
Study in the heart of Nottingham — one of Europe’s top 25 student cities, and home to over 75,000 learners.
