BSC ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE WITH A YEAR IN INDUSTRY
At UEA we believe that to master the language of accounting and finance is to master the language of business. That means that whatever aspect of business you go on to, the accounting and finance expertise you gain on this degree will put you at a great advantage. The course is ideal if you want to become a financial accountant or auditor. It’s also an excellent choice if you want to work in commerce, industry, financial services such as banking, investment banking, fund management or insurance, as a tax adviser, or if you want to start your own business.
After gaining a grounding in core business disciplines, you will learn the theory and practice of financial accounting and reporting. You will then develop your understanding of business finance and accountancy, as well as contract and company law. You’ll learn how to understand, interpret and act on the financial accounts of any business.

As you progress you will turn your focus to advanced modules that are designed to prepare you for your future. You can study Advanced Financial Accounting, Advanced Management Accounting, Audit and Accountability, and Personal and Corporate Taxation. In your second and final years, you also have the chance to take certain optional modules according to your interests and aspirations.
