Accounting and Economics (BSc Econ)

The Joint Honours degree programme Accounting and Economics offers students the opportunity to study the main elements of each of the two disciplines. Throughout the three years of the degree, equal weighting is given to each subject, and the use of core modules ensures that students have received an appropriate grounding in each.

Throughout the programme of study the Accounting element is taught entirely through core modules, while the Economics element offers the opportunity to select modules from the Banking and Finance area, Business Economics, or Economics, according to the particular interests of the student.

This is due to the fact that some modules have limited numbers of places available, which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while others have minimum student numbers required before they will run, to ensure that an appropriate quality of education can be delivered; some modules require students to have already taken particular subjects, and others are core or required on the programme you are taking. Modules may also be limited due to timetable clashes, and although the University works to minimise disruption to choice, we advise you to seek advice from the relevant School on the module choices available.
