Accountants are best known for validating company accounts – auditing – but they also devise and operate financial systems, conduct investment analysis, advise on business start-ups, company takeovers and company rescue schemes, and handle individuals’ and corporations’ tax affairs.
At Kent Business School, our Accounting & Finance degrees respond to the needs of the modern accountancy profession. We offer the opportunity to spend a year on work placement, or to combine accounting with related subjects as part of a dual degree. For more information on undertaking a work placement, see Accounting and Finance with a Year in Industry, in the related courses menu below.
Our approach to teaching gives you the confidence and skills you need to follow the path that most interests you.
We have an excellent record of graduate employment with our graduates moving into a range of careers, including professional training in public practice (chartered accountancy) or in industry, commerce or the public sector, or financial services or general management.
Our programme is accredited by the professional accountancy bodies and provides several exemptions from professional accounting examinations. We also offer a qualifying taxation module, which is not available at many other UK universities.
