Accounting and Finance (with Foundation Year) Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Accounting starts and ends with people, not just processes. It’s about communication, trust, and the ability to turn complex data into useful stories. Technology is transforming the world of finance, but human judgement still matters — and that’s why accounting and finance is a place for curious, adaptable decision-makers.

With an integrated foundation year, this course gives you extra time to build your confidence before moving on to degree-level study. You’ll strengthen your academic, digital and business skills, then progress to specialist topics such as cybersecurity, Big Data analytics, digital currencies, and the growing impact of fintech and AI on the profession.

Forget the old stereotype of accounting as grey and predictable. Today, it’s innovative, ethical and fast-moving. Whether you want to work in accountancy, auditing, corporate finance or the wider world of business, this course gives you the knowledge, practical insight and confidence to get started.
