Accounting & Finance combines technical competence with strategic financial insight. You will prepare financial statements, analyse costs, and evaluate investment decisions. Campus seminars use real company filings; Excel and accounting software workshops build employability skills. Ethics and governance modules address professional responsibilities expected by ACCA, CIMA, and ICAEW bodies.
BSc (Hons) Accounting & Finance is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 3 years full-time, and the credit total is 360. Students move from Introduction to Financial Accounting through Introduction to Financial Accounting; Management Accounting Principles; Business Law for Accountants; Economics for Finance; Quantitative Methods & Financial Mathematics; Business Information Systems & Excel, and finish on Honours Accounting & Finance Dissertation.
Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students read a set of figures, build a small case, and state which assumption moves the result. Reading is financial statements, a recognition note, and a risk report. The artefact a marker expects is a recommendation that separates the decision, the numbers, and the risk.
The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Prepare financial statements under IFRS and European accounting standards Conduct variance analysis and budgeting for management decisions Evaluate investment proposals using NPV and IRR methods
Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass.
This course does not confer an accounting, audit, or financial-services licence.
The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
Exam exemptions may be available for ACCA papers F1–F4 subject to performance thresholds.
