You’ll learn to analyse financial data, interpret and respond effectively to many common business problems and advise non-technical executives on the implications of complex financial questions.

    The degree program contains both a 3 year Bachelor’s degree equivalent program and an integrated Master’s of Accounting.  Both curricula are fully accredited by professional bodies including the CIPFA, ICAEW, CIMA and ACCA. Their ongoing support means that the program contents are ensured to be fully up to date and responsive to the needs and demands of industry. That means you’ll receive the maximum number of exemptions from testing into these organisations upon satisfactory completion of the program.
