Location of University of Greenwich
This programme has been designed for students who want to become qualified accountants or develop a general career in accounting and finance.
Accountancy is the process of maintaining, auditing and processing financial information to help managers, investors, tax authorities and other decision makers allocate resources. It is a modern and fast-moving industry that uses the latest technology and attracts some of the most motivated and intelligent graduates. This degree prepares students for these challenges.
At the end of the first year, successful students may continue this degree or switch to the second year of BA Hons Accounting and Financial Information Systems. Students who wish to specialise in auditing may switch to BA Hons Accounting, Audit and Assurance Services. After the second year, students may spend a sandwich year on an industrial placement, which can aid both final-year studies and subsequent employment prospects.
Career options
Graduates can pursue employment in accounting and finance departments, the financial services sector, public sector, non-profit-making organisations and in public practice with firms of certified or chartered accountants.
