    About

    Course description

    Why study this course?

    Triple Crown accredited

    Sheffield University Management School is accredited by AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB. The programme benefits from professional exemptions from ACCA, CIMA, CPA Australia, ICAEW and CIPFA which means by studying this programme you will have a head start in becoming a qualified chartered accountant.

    Dedicated employability team

    Based in the department, they support you to get placements and internships, work with industry to ensure you develop the most in-demand skills and support you with career planning and CV workshops.

    Community and wellbeing

    The department runs a series of Balance and Belonging events, providing you with the opportunity to get to know your peers and students on other courses, and feel a sense of belonging within the Management School.

    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.

    The Management School is Triple Crown accredited by AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB.
