Business Management and Accounting (with placement year)

The BSc Business Management and Accounting programme combines a broad foundation in business and management with specialist knowledge in accounting and financial decision-making.

The programme is designed to develop graduates who understand how organisations operate, perform and grow, with particular emphasis on the role of financial information in supporting effective management. Students will explore core areas of business including strategy, operations, organisational behaviour and the wider economic environment, alongside accounting disciplines such as financial reporting, management accounting and performance analysis.

A key feature of the programme is the integration of business and accounting perspectives, enabling students to understand not only how financial information is produced, but how it is used to inform strategic and operational decisions. Students will engage with real-world business scenarios, developing analytical and problem-solving skills that are directly relevant to contemporary organisational contexts.

The programme prepares graduates for careers across business, finance and professional services, as well as for further study in accounting, finance or management.

We are proud to be in an elite group of business schools to hold the triple accreditations of Equis, AMBA and AACSB, often referred to as the "Triple Crown".

A number of professional accountancy bodies give exemptions for examinations taken at different stages of their professional qualification, including ICAEW, ACCA, AIA and CIMA, and CPA Australia. Depending on specific accounting modules taken, this programme may entitle students to be eligible for exemptions.
