This multidisciplinary degree programme combines your interests in both accounting and management to gain a unique skills-set in both disciplines for a successful career. The accounting modules will give you a solid theoretical and practical accounting knowledge which is useful to examine and interpret financial performance, while management modules will cover the wide range of business subjects including strategic management, marketing, human resource management, corporate governance and sustainability.
You will gain quantitative and management skills needed for strategic decision-making as well as how to manage organisations in dynamic environments. The degree could take you into the global world of multinational companies and international financial markets. Alternatively, you might choose to use the skills and experience to work in the public sector, or to set up your own business. Recognising the diversity of career paths available for graduates with both accounting expertise and leadership skills, the programme offers flexibility to take a range of complementary optional modules in other disciplines including banking, law, and sustainability.
