Overview
Accounting provides an excellent foundation for those wishing to pursue a career in the financial sector and for those considering starting their own business. The course has been developed in association with the professional bodies, including CIMA and ICAEW and thus incorporates an element of both financial and management accounting, therefore providing a solid knowledge of the subject for those entering the Accounting profession.
Accounting allows students to develop quantitative data analysis and interpretation skills, whilst the inclusion of ethics and an emphasis on management accounting will give students the confidence to communicate information to non-accountants and future clients.
