    Course Summary

    City University London’s BSc degree in Accounting and Finance is an excellent choice for ambitious, driven students who want to make a name for themselves either in the accounting profession, in management, or in the financial services industry in the UK or abroad.

    You’ll study financial accounting, corporate finance, taxation, financial management and the theories of economics more generally. The program is accredited by the ICAEW (the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales), and successful completion can lead to multiple exemptions from testing into Chartered Accountant certification or other statuses.

    This program incorporates an optional year in professional placement. This is an opportunity to gain real world professional skills and to see how accountants really work on a day to day basis. It is also a real feather in your cap when it comes time to apply for your first few positions in accounting or the financial industry.

    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.
