Northumbria Universitys BSc (Hons) Accounting course is about more than just numbers, it gives you fresh insights and a deeper understanding of financial information. And its your starting block for building a rewarding career.

Complementing modules that combine key accounting theory with problem-based learning around real-world scenarios, the course offers an optional, year-long placement between your second and final years. Its an opportunity well worth taking up to give your CV the edge with valuable experience whether youre interested in a training contract or role in industry accounting. And depending on the nature of the placement, this may count as the practice element youll need for full membership of the highly respected Association of Accounting Technicians. If it is the chartered accountant route that appeals, youll need to satisfy the requirements of professional accounting bodies. So weve designed our Accounting course with this in mind. Currently, our BSc (Hons) offers 42 individual exemptions across six of the worlds largest professional bodies. These mean youll be able to enter the job market with a good number of your professional qualifications already behind you.

Northumbria Universitys Accounting course is covered by the prestigious Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation for Newcastle Business School.

With 95% of students (NSS 2019) saying the skills developed during their time in higher education will be useful for their future career, many of our graduates move on to one of the big four accounting firms or into a role in industry accounting. There they take up training contracts and complete professional qualifications. Recent destinations for graduates from this course include graduate training at PWC and Tait Walker, accountant at Procter & Gamble, and accounting assistant at Billy Casper Golf.

As an accountant youundertake financial audits, manage financial systems and budgets, and provide professional advice. And as you progress in your career, you may move into wider leadership roles. One in six of the UKs top 100 CEOs started out with a finance or accounting degree.

If further study beckons after graduation, you can do so as a postgraduate through a course such as our MSc in Forensic Accounting.
