BSc (Hons) Accounting

This degree is specifically designed to help you develop skills in seven key areas which are vital for accountants and business leaders; adding value, communication, decision-making, ethics and professionalism, problem-solving, teamwork and technical competence.

This unique, professionally oriented course has been designed alongside the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)  Undergraduate Partnership Programme  (UPP).

It will provide you with a fast track to an accountancy qualification and the  four-year degree offers you the opportunity of a full-year paid work placement in your third year of study.

Special Features:

The ICAEW hold networking events at Alliance Manchester Business School which provide you with the opportunity to meet companies who offer internships through the UPP, such as Ernst & Young, Goldman Sachs, Grant Thornton, Mazars and PwC.

The course integrates study of the theory and practice of accounting, and offers significant exemptions from the examinations of professional accountancy bodies, particularly those of the ICAEW. You could gain exemptions from ICAEW ACA papers and qualify as a chartered accountant two years after graduation.

You will be taught by staff who are leading researchers in their fields, some of whom are also qualified accountants.

Course Unit Details:

• There is some scope for you to study related subjects to broaden your knowledge of business and management, subject to the requirements of professional accreditation.
• You will receive a strong theoretical and practical grounding in the principles of accounting and acquire appropriate transferable skills.
