Overview
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE
Our Accounting and Finance degree
is accredited by major professional
accounting bodies, and is the first step
towards your career as an accountant
or within the finance sector.
The degree is designed to give you
an in-depth understanding of how
accounting and finance fits into the
broader context of business and
management, and will provide you
with the specialist skills and
knowledge enabling you to flourish
in your future career.
Why Bradford?
Our academics are experts in their
fields, and will explain in detail the
function that accountants play, both
in influencing management decisions
and providing crucial information to
investors. You will develop a broad
insight into business and management
and learn how strategic, financial and
tax strategies can enhance corporate
value, developing your expertise and
helping you to think like an investor.
As Accounting and Finance shares
a common first year with our other
undergraduate courses, you may
transfer to another degree such as
Business and Management Studies at
the end of your first year, if you feel
that your interests lie in another area
of business.
You can also choose to take the course
over three continuous years or over
four years with a year of practical work
experience. You can also combine your
your passion for learning and travelling
by studying abroad at one of our
partner institutions in Europe, Canada,
Australia, North America or Hong Kong.
