Accounting (BA)

BA Accounting specialises in the functional area focusing on accounting and finance skills in a variety of organisational contexts. It is a programme which suits those who prefer to specialise in accounting skills, rather than focusing on a broad range of business skills. Students on this programme are typically numerate and logically-minded, and it is likely, but not mandatory, that they will have previously studied accounting, maths or business. Those with work experience, but few formal qualifications, may also join the programme. A-Levels and Edexcel awards are respected, as well as a range of other certificates at this level from UK, EU and International bodies. 

The Accounting programme has seven exemptions from the ACCA professional examinations. Gaining exemptions via the degree programme means you get a kick-start in your career saving you both time and money.
