    Course Summary

    A BA degree in Accounting and Finance will prepare you for a wide range of different career paths, and that is exactly what Cardiff Met’s Accounting and Finance BA program is designed to do.

    You’ll study the length and breadth of the subject of accounting and be able to select your own specialties at higher levels of study. In addition, you’ll explore banking, financial services and international finances and fully prepare yourself to work in that industry as well.

    This program is fully accredited by a range of professional bodies, including the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants and the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants. This accreditation means that you may be eligible for exemptions from many of the tests required to register with these organisations. This will be a huge boost to your employability after you graduate.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

Again, your ICAEW and ACCA exemptions will come I handy here.
