    Course Summary

    Kingston University’s BSc in Accounting and Finance is the perfect next step for students with GCSE level Maths and English skills who wish to pursue a career as a Financial Analyst, a Company Secretary, a Treasurer, an Auditor or an Accountant.

    You’ll learn more than just accounting skills, though. This degree includes a Business Readiness Program which will demonstrate to employers that you have the skills you need to jump directly into a career as well as the academic skills you’ll need to thrive. Other options include a year abroad, a year in professional work placement and an integrated foundation year.    

    This degree program is fully accredited by the Association of Corporate Treasurers, and offers many exam exemptions from that organisation. Exemptions are also offered by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), should you prefer a career in accountancy.

    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.
