Business Accounting (Top-up) BA(Hons)

About the course

Why Business Accounting?

If you’ve already studied accountancy and you’d like to build on your knowledge to degree level, this could be the course for you. We’ll focus on both theory and practice to help you gain an in-depth understanding of the financial issues that today’s businesses face.

Every business asks different things of its accountants and finance experts. You could end up being responsible for cash flow, or carrying out financial audits, for example. So we’ll start by giving you a thorough grounding in all areas of accounting and finance. You’ll get a real feel for what’s behind any successful organisation – how it’s financed and managed.

How will I learn?

You will learn through practical application and delivered lectures, workshops, seminars and group work sessions. You’ll be able to connect with leading accounting firms thanks to our Partners in Accountancy scheme.

What subjects will you cover?

You’ll explore subjects such as Accounting for Managers, Investment and Portfolio Management, Strategy in Context and International Business.
