Course Overview
Management accounting is a fast-paced career field which requires a broad range of skills. In addition to being good with numbers, management accountants must be creative thinkers and good communicators. As a management accountant, you’ll find yourself engaged and challenged as you develop new ideas and business strategies to present to your peers and directors. If you’re ambitious and love working with numbers as well as people, this career could be for you.
UEA’s Accounting and Management degree will give you the skills essential to working at the centre of a business’s decision making, influencing its future direction and providing the insight that drives a business forward.
On this course, you’ll develop your writing and presentation skills, becoming a confident, passionate and persuasive communicator who can take complex accounting and management information and present it in a way that’s simple, engaging and clear. 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.
We have a Preferred Partnership arrangement with the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) who hold regional meetings, which you're invited to attend. You’ll also be able to join the CIMA Grad Club allowing you to access the most up-to-date management accounting research materials and latest job and internship opportunities.
You’ll graduate with full examination exemptions from the first two levels of the CIMA qualification. Depending on the modules you choose, you’ll also have the chance to gain exemptions from other professional bodies, including the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
