    About

    Accountants ask questions such as: How are cost estimates determined? What is the best way to investigate suspected corporate tax fraud? How are company liabilities calculated?

You'll complete formal presentations, live projects, group projects and various case studies during your degree.

    • Co-operative work placement - Gain valuable full-time paid work experience that alternates with your academic studies.
