Course Overview
This degree will give you a powerful combination of financial management and creative and communication skills that management accountants need to be successful.
They need to be numerate of course, but the best are also creative thinkers and good communicators. You will learn how to influence the future of business, develop new ideas and business strategies, cost them, and present them convincingly to your peers and directors.
This is the day-to-day business of the management accountant, and it is the breadth of skills involved which so often gives them a fast track to the top of organisations.
If you’re ambitious, love working with numbers as well as people, this degree could well be for you.
Our BSc Accounting and Management with a Year in Industry is ranked in the top 15 for Accounting and Finance and in the top 20 for Business and Management by 'The Guardian University Guide 2023'.
On the BSc Accounting and Management degree, you’ll gain the skills essential to working at the centre of a business’s decision-making, influencing its future direction and providing insight that drives a business forward.
Your degree will prepare you for a successful career as a Management Accountant, Management Consultant or Financial Director. You’ll learn the financial accounting skills needed to ask the right questions and collect and interpret the relevant information. You’ll also learn how to effectively present this information to decision-makers, and how to make recommendations and decisions of your own. You will take accountancy and management modules, learning important accountancy skills and management theories. You’ll also have freedom to design your own course, choosing from a wealth of optional modules so you can focus on the areas of management and accountancy that interest you most.
