In years two and three you will specialise in either accounting or finance and your module options will offer significant depth of expertise.

We will introduce business practitioners into your learning schedule who will provide an insight into the real-life situations and challenges they encounter in the business world. As you develop, your confidence and awareness will grow and you will leave us ready to enter into business life.
