Accounting

Overview

Roehampton is ranked 3rd in London for student satisfaction in Accounting (NSS 2021).

While developing your accounting knowledge and skills, you will develop yourself personally, become confident in your own values, apply your knowledge to solve problems, and ultimately learn to add value to any organisation.

Across the three years, you will undertake specialist ACCA-accredited accounting modules, which means when you graduate, you will be exempt from nine of the ACCA professional exams if you choose to work towards your full professional qualification.

The degree is also accredited by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), so you just need to take six CIMA exams to complete your CIMA qualification.

You will learn financial and management accounting techniques, including the preparation of financial reports. You will also explore the latest business issues such as the growth in digital commerce, developments in data analysis, and the dynamic nature of the global business environment.

In addition to this you will be taught about people and project management, to complement your developing accounting skills.

Studying at Roehampton you will become highly employable and capable, with the knowledge and skills required by employers and professional accounting bodies.

*This currently applies to students in their first year only.

How you will learn

Your tutors have extensive experience across many accounting contexts, and will demonstrate how your learning connects to, and impacts on, the real world.

Business Readiness and Extended Academic Induction modules will build your future employability throughout your degree, by developing your academic, leadership and management skills.

You will compile evidence of your developing knowledge, skills and attributes, and be able to clearly articulate your increasing ability to add value to organisations.

Foundation or GCE Advanced Level

Career Options

You will be set up to move into working in management or financial accounting jobs in the corporate, public or voluntary sectors. You can follow pathways into accountancy via the main professional bodies in the UK, and bypass some of the foundation level examinations needed for qualifying as an accountant.

Our careers team is available to support you from the start of your studies until after you graduate. They will help you build your CV, prepare for interviews, and meet and learn from successful graduates working at the top of their careers. You’ll also have opportunities to work with our partners across London and beyond, and to attend a Roehampton jobs fair where you can find out about graduate opportunities and meet employers.
