Course Overview

BA Accounting specialises in the functional area focusing on accounting and finance skills in a variety of organisational contexts. It is a programme which suits those who prefer to specialise in accounting skills, rather than focusing on a broad range of business skills. Students on this programme are typically numerate and logically-minded, and it is likely, but not mandatory, that they will have previously studied accounting, maths or business. Those with work experience, but few formal qualifications, may also join the programme. A-Levels and Edexcel awards, as well as a range of other certificates at this level from UK, EU and International bodies, are respected.
