    Course Summary

    This fully accredited BSc program from the University of Buckingham is an excellent choice for those students who may not have thought they had the academic prerequisites to enter an Honours BSc program, but can’t take 4 or more years to attend a foundation year and a standard BSc degree program. It will give you an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of Accounting and Finance in a total of just three years.

    This is an intensive, accelerated degree program. Most universities only offer BSc degrees as 3 or 4 year programs on their own, whilst Buckingham makes it possible to earn a fully accredited, well-respected BSc degree in just two years, or with an integrated Foundation Year in only three. As these degrees make excellent first steps towards a Master’s program (at the University of Buckingham or elsewhere), you could earn your MSc in less time than some students take to earn a Bachelor’s degree!
