Overview

Accounting is an integral part of any business and a discipline that offers a wide variety of employment opportunities. The growth in multi-national organisations means that a qualification in accounting can provide you with global employment opportunities. If you are interested in specialising in accounting and working within the financial or wider business sector, then this two-year full-time course is for you.

This course has a strong emphasis on the development of employability skills and you will complete a Managing Professional Development module in the first year and engage in a period of work placement within a Work Based Learning module in second year.

This programme of study is likely to include enrichment units, which are an additional component to enhance your employability.
