Accounting
Offering a fast-track qualification for graduates with nonaccounting degrees who want to pursue a career in accounting, you will acquire a basic knowledge of the core areas of accounting and, on successful completion, will have taken the first steps to becoming a professionally qualified accountant.
This programme will be of interest to graduates who wish to gain exemptions from professional accounting examinations.
Successful students can progress to the MSc Advanced Accounting or MSc Strategic Accounting or directly to an accounting training contract to become a professionally qualified accountant. The programme has excellent postgraduation employment rates. Through the University's Employability and Careers Service, we facilitate meetings with prospective employers during the programme.
