These days, accounting is about so much more than crunching numbers. Accountancy at corporate level is complex, and brings into a play a number of expert skills. In this course, you'll develop those specific skills, as well as enhancing your generic skills, all of which are required in today's competitive business world.
The Accounting and Finance group also received the highest possible recognition from the UK's Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) for the quality of its teaching.
Skills
Through this course, you'll learn and develop a combination of accounting, finance and other business skills. These include specific accounting techniques and policies relating to corporate finance, tax, auditing, corporate governance and statistics. You'll learn to use relevant IT systems, and acquire relevant knowledge of law, economics and the business environment. The generic skills of time management, project management, communication, collection and management of data, and IT skills will all serve you well in the future, whatever your eventual field of work.
